Wholehearted congratulations

The positive engagement of our people to take advantage of the many opportunities that the world presents is certainly the greatest challenge we face today in Jamaica, as there is no secret that we are blessed with talent and ingenuity waiting to be properly employed in innovative and productive exploits. Matching those two elements, however, remains the most elusive of our solutions that only few among us have truly learned to harness. The Western Hospitality Institute (WHI) has made great strides in bridging this gap, and for this it must be recognised.

The brainchild of its president, Cecil Cornwall, a proud son of the soil, the Western Hospitality Institute champions the hope of many thousands of young Jamaicans who, with only a spark in their belly, the school welcomed to its campuses and ignited a fire for the hospitality industry that has kept many hotels, attractions and restaurants supplied with a stream of educated and exposed Jamaicans for which we all are very proud.

Not constrained by limited square footage or resources, WHI partners with some of the most prestigious universities and colleges across the United States and Canada and has, over these last 20 years, developed the respect of many in the fields of tourism and academia, both in Jamaica and overseas. The countless number of graduates who may only have had dreams of a diploma were so inspired, encouraged and facilitated by WHI to go on to their bachelor's, master's and even doctorates in their fields of study. This positive reinforcement of values is cheered by this proud industry daily.

The Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association wholeheartedly congratulates the Western Hospitality Institute, which we consider to be an integral partner in our country's tourism development on its 20th anniversary and commit our diverse association to continuing to work with you through your next 20 years.

President, JHTA
