Single tourist visa for entire Caribbean region proposed

A single Schengen-style visa offering travel across the entire Caribbean region has been mooted by Jamaica Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett.

A single CARICOM visa has ‘huge economic potential ‘and ‘is something that we’ve been talking about’ Bartlett said.

He says, it would create a single common airspace where airlines would pay a single fee.

The region once trialled a similar scheme for the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup.

Fans were able to travel between the nine host countries on a single visa for nearly three months.
