À propos de cet audio

 The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for the Caribbean region to rethink tourism. In this third podcast in the series, IDB Group Country Representative for Barbados, Juan Carlos De La Hoz Viñas, speaks with Graham Watkins, Chief of the IDB’s Climate Change and Sustainability Division, as well as two key stakeholders in Barbados’ ecotourism sector: Ian McNeel, social entrepreneur and founder of Walker’s Reserve; and Mahmood Patel, hotelier and owner of Coco Hill Forest, an agro-tourism and agroforestry project.

Listen as they explore:

• What can be done to re-ignite economic growth in the tourism-dependent Caribbean?

• What are the benefits of moving beyond sustainable tourism to regenerative tourism?

• What are the ways in which agriculture and tourism can be better integrated?
