As I consider these two developments, I cannot help but conclude that Jamaica's apparent success is built on a clear vision. I smiled as I read excerpts of Tourism Minister Bartlett's recent speech. He is quoted as saying that "you don't grow because you do everything that everybody else is doing, you grow because you are doing different things and you are disrupting the market." Clearly, it is not time for "business as usual" in Trinidad and Tobago tourism. It is time for "business Unusual." My name is Derren Joseph and I love my country. As always, I end by saying that despite our challenges, we are so blessed to live in this beautiful land. Let us continue to have the audacity of hope in the future of our beloved country.
