On Thursday, May 28, 2026, the Entertainment and Cultural Enterprise Management (ECEM) program at the UWI, Mona, had the pleasure of hosting the Minister of Tourism, The Hon Edmund Bartlett, and his team, on campus at the launch of our new short courses offering. We are currently offering Event Planning and Design and Artist Management, and we’ll be bringing on others in the near future. In this effort, we have partnered with the Ministry’s Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) and the Tourism Linkages Network (TLN). Stay tuned for more as we're excited by what’s ahead for this partnership. The Minister, on this occasion, also announced his “Tourism 3.0” initiative, aimed at expanding the tourism economy to include even more local culture and entertainment. We're here for it and stand ready to deliver the management training needed.
