Patrick Cozier Calls For Caribbean to Become More Competitive

Holiday In Wales Patrick Cozier, Secretary General of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) has challenged the regional tourism sector to re-position the industry to meet the demands of consumers worldwide and make the Caribbean a more competitive region. He called for an airline network that serves the whole Caribbean, and for local investors to move into the Cruise business as part of a process of building locally-based worldwide brands.

The other agenda item focused on disaster preparedness.

He said the carrier should have the capability of serving all member countries in the Caribbean Community and should not have any bias of nationality reflected in its service.

"We sit and bemoan the fact that these vessels come into our area, take so much and give very little. This is an opportunity for us to get involved in that segment of the industry, and to make change," he told the conference.

"We too are capable of coming up with brands that are globally accepted, and it is time for us to start taking these to the market rather than simply giving our support to efforts to bring market brands to us," he advised.
