The Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC) held its inaugural conference, the Global Tourism Resilience Conference, in February 2023 at The UWI’s Regional Headquarters in Mona, Jamaica.

The three‐day conference was the first of its kind, designed to bring the global tourism community together to discuss investment opportunities, debate solutions to today’s most pressing challenges, and increase cooperation for greater global resilience across the industry.

Global Tourism Resilience Day, which was initiated by The UWI’s Professor Lloyd Waller and designated by the United Nations General Assembly as an annual observance on February 17, was also launched.
