Tourism Ministers of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States are meeting in St Vincent this week to discuss initiatives to improve the industry\'s performance.
The talks come as the region grapples with a fall in tourist arrivals and revenue as a result of the global financial crisis.
The April 20-21 conference will focus on issues such as joint marketing, multi-destination tourism and the agriculture-tourism linkage.
The ministers will also examine short term relief measures and emergency funding for small to medium enterprises in the tourism industry.
