"Jamaica
House is being positioned as a little piece of Jamaica in Brazil which will
have Jamaican entertainment, food ... Jamaican music and, also, we will have
the opportunity for interactions between partners in the tourism industry ...
partners from the South American area, as well as tourism officials,"
Minister Bartlett said.
He
told THE STAR that the artistes will be performing
daily as the tourist board is determined to "leverage the power of
Jamaican track and field athletes there, in a huge way, to bring attention to
destination Jamaica, to enable what bookings we can get.
"The
prime minister is expected to visit and the minister of sports will be hosting
the ministers of sports from different regions and will be bringing in scores
of media which will be projecting Jamaica's image," Bartlett said.
