Message from the Co-Chair of the Board, Minister the honourable Edmund Bartlett, CD, MP

The need for the creation of a global tourism resilience initiative was one of the major outcomes of the Global Conference on Jobs and Inclusive Growth: Partnerships for  Sustainable Tourism under the esteemed partnership of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Government of Jamaica, the World Bank Group and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

We have continued the charge in developing this much-needed initiative in the form of the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre.

The ultimate goal of the Centre is to assist destination preparedness, management and recovery from disruptions and/or crises that affect tourism and threaten economies and livelihoods globally.

It will specifically be tasked with creating, producing and generating toolkits, guidelines and policies to assist with preparatory and recovery efforts of tourism stakeholders affected by climatic, pandemic, cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism related disruptions.

This Centre is of particular importance in the region, because of the vulnerability of the Caribbean to climatic and other disruptions. This is primarily because our tourism industries in the region are dependent on a number of infrastructure such as airports and hotels, so structural integrity is important.

We must therefore use every opportunity and capacity to anticipate what will be happening by tracking these disruptions, managing the process when they arrive, and recovering not just in real time, but in Nano time, so as to ensure the stability of the region.

The Centre is housed at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus but will have a global impact thanks to our partners and board members from every continent across the world. As Minister of Tourism of Jamaica, I am filled with great pride for the world’s confidence in us and for the support of this very important institution in the industry.

I am particularly grateful to the UWI for allowing us the use of the space and more so to enable us to make it the kind of facility that we can be happy to welcome the world to participate here in great things and other kinds of cerebral activities. This partnership will give Jamaica, the Caribbean and the world a new opportunity to understand global disruptions.

I have no doubt that this Centre will be very successful and I look forward to seeing the impact it will have on the region and countries across the Globe.

Minister of Tourism
Hon. Edmund Bartlett, CD, MP

COVID-19 Crisis: Action plan for recovery

Dear clients, collaborators and actors from the tourism sector in general,

At Mabrian Technologies, we want to help you face today’s greatest challenges.

We have made a resolution to provide all of our work and knowledge on tourism dynamics on a global scale in order to help the tourism sector fight against the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 virus.

We feel a responsibility to offer our support in order to help understand, in the best way possible, the impact this crisis is having for the sector and, above all, to help lay the foundations of a strategic recovery plan.

We cannot avoid the crisis, but we can help to understand its effects day by day as well as the best contingency and recovery measures.

To this effect, a special free subscription service to our Travel Intelligence platform will be made available to all those entities or companies who request it. This will enable a close monitoring of the impact of the crisis from different perspectives and in real-time: impact on tourist mentions related to the pandemic, evolution of the Security Perception Index towards the destinations, evolution of air scheduling as well as evolution of flight and hotel prices.

If this is of interest to you, please request this service via our website: www.mabrian.com

The challenge is global. Let’s remain united and collaborate in order to overcome this situation as soon as possible.

You can count on us at Mabrian Technologies.

Research on average hotel prices for Mediterranean destinations, Summer 2022

Partner Services

With few exceptions all the main Mediterranean destinations are seeing modest increases on average prices from 2019 across three, four and five star hotels.

France is the main exception, with a 12% and 11.3% drop in prices for three and four star hotels respectively – but it’s worth pointing out that it is not all bad news, as its five star hotels are still the most expensive in the region at €419 per night (and up by 13.2% compared to 2019).

Meanwhile Egypt’s prices are up strongly across all three categories, at 25%, 40.9% and 48.3%.  But Greece is the real star here, with four and five star hotels seeing a 62.7% and a 110% increase respectively.

For more information and insights from Mabrian, please reach out to Carlos Cendra, Sales & Marketing Director at Mabrian.
