Forty-seven years of public service in Jamaica and a stable 51-year marriage with his wife, Carmen, are testimonials to the excellence, character, and consistency of one of the most known and successful tourism ministers in modern times.
Mr. Bartlett and Carmen were always there for each other. Carmen stood by her husband throughout his political career. Edmund sees his marriage not only as the love of his life but also as a beautiful friendship.
This strength enabled Hon. Edmund Bartlett, the tourism minister for Jamaica, to shape the country’s economy and tourism industry. He puts his constituents first without forgetting his enormous responsibility for Jamaica’s economy and its status as a global travel and tourism icon.
Minister Bartlett is a god-fearing, resilient, and down-to-earth man. He has repeatedly shown that thinking outside the box contributes to Jamaica’s tourism industry’s resilience and success.
He has demonstrated, especially in hard times, that he is there for his constituents. He understood that his global influence would make Jamaica a world leader in many ways. This approach may have been the secret of his political success.
Minister Bartlett loves tourism. He has often urged young people to seek a career in this sector.
The upcoming Global Tourism Resilience Conference and Expo, which will be held in Jamaica from February 17-19, invites tourism leaders from around the globe.
“The principles of tourism resilience have guided us in Jamaica and are crucial to our ongoing success,” said the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, who is also the founder of the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC) and Minister of Tourism, Jamaica.
A year ago, Carmen and Edmund Bartlett celebrated 50 years of a love story,
