Tourism Minister Ian Gooding-Edghill is encouraging young people to consider careers in tourism and aviation.
He says both areas are filled with opportunities they can capitalise on.
The Minister made the call at the opening of the Barbados Tourism Youth Congress, held at Ocean 2 Hotel this morning.
He also praised the organisers of the competition, noting it provides an invaluable opportunity for participants.
This morning’s event also saw the announcement of the 2023 Junior Tourism Minister. That title now goes to Jordan Grieg of Harrison College, who won from a field of six students.
