- “The assets of Jamaica, from a tourism perspective, [include] its natural beauty and, obviously, it makes sense for us to invest heavily in maintaining and protecting that natural beauty…Protecting the environment is one of the steps, but I am hoping for an overarching change of attitude, a change of mindset, recognizing the value of what we have and then converting that into wealth opportunities for our people,”.
- However, with the lessons that we have learned, ICC 2022 is set to return to the scale of previous years… Since JET became the national ICC coordinators, the event has grown from a small 1700 volunteers in 2008 to over 12,400 in 2019, and each year we have more groups coordinating their own clean-ups and unfortunately more trash being collected,” said JET's CEO Dr Theresa Rodriguez-Moodie.
- Carey Wallace, stated at that the partnership with JET not only improves the island’s tourism product but also encourages a behavioral change in our people that is required to combat pollution in the long run.
