Ministry of Tourism sectoral debate carried live on June 23

Coverage of the Ministry of Tourism’s sectoral debate was published on June 23, 2026, with Jamaica Gleaner offering a full-length video feed of proceedings in the House of Representatives.

Sectoral debates form a regular part of Jamaica’s parliamentary calendar. Ministers with portfolio responsibility use the sessions to set out how their ministries have performed, what priorities lie ahead, and how public funds will be applied. Opposition members then challenge the Government on policy direction, service delivery, and accountability.

Tuesday’s sitting centred on tourism, a sector that drives a large share of the country’s foreign-exchange earnings and provides work for thousands of Jamaicans in hotels, attractions, transport, and related services. The recording runs approximately two hours and twenty-seven minutes, underscoring the range of issues that typically fall under the tourism portfolio.

The Gleaner broadcast gave viewers direct access to the full parliamentary exchange rather than a shortened news summary. Beyond the event title, no accompanying published text detailed specific announcements, figures, or statements from the debate.
