Already known for being a world leader in the tourist industry, Jamaica will step into the spotlight on the global economic stage to play host in June to the World Free Zones Organization’s 8th Annual International Conference & Exhibition 2022. The first to be held in the Caribbean, the event is slated for the Montego Bay Convention Centre, June 13-17. Themed ‘Zones: Your Partner for Resilience, Sustainability and Prosperity’, the event will bring together world-class speakers, global free zone practitioners, policymakers, multilateral organisations, and business representatives to exchange ideas, experiences and visions for creating a more integrated global trade and business environment. The event is expected to bring over 1,000 visitors into Jamaica.
