Planning in Saint Lucia |
The Organization of
American States (OAS), in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and
Civil Aviation, will be hosting a workshop in St Lucia from May 16 to 17,
2007 to review a multi-hazard contingency planning manual for the Caribbean
Tourism Sector.
The manual, which provides information on standard operating practices and
guidelines for preparing, responding and recovering from critical events
impacting the tourism industry, has been developed by the OAS and regional
stakeholders, including the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA)
and the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA).
The two-day workshop is being convened to share the results of the manual's
development process and to engage in the practical application of its
contents.
Commenting on this OAS sponsored event, the organization's representative in
St Lucia, Paul Spencer, stated that this activity is "most timely as it
comes as authorities in many Caribbean countries finalize their preparedness
for the annual hurricane season." According to Spencer, it is yet another
contribution which the hemispheric organization is making to address the
region's development needs.
The opening ceremony of the tourism multi-hazard workshop will be addressed
by St Lucia's Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Senator Allen
Chastanet, Spencer and a representative from CDERA. |
