"Like many thousands of my brothers and sisters throughout the Caribbean, I believe that tourism is everybody's business, whose success is reliant on a strong partnership between the public and private sectors." - Perry G. Christie, Prime Minister, The Bahamas

"Our industry is by nature designed to create dreams and memories. People expect more today than they have ever expected before. We've got to be better. Teamwork, humility, attitude, get up every day, work hard, rock 'n' roll and I promise you, you'll be successful." - Adam Stewart, CEO, Sandals Resorts International (Travel Weekly)

"Marcia (Erskine) embodies the spirit behind this (Marcella Martinez) award. And those who know her, know that her passion for the region is undeniable. Her impact is far reaching, having developed and implemented public relations support for several tourism related entities, including the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, BWIA, Half Moon Resort, Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, Hotel Four Seasons, the Wyndham Kingston Hotel as well as ESPN Caribbean." - Donnie Dawson, Deputy Director of Tourism, Jamaica

"I am very pleased that our destination is hosting this, the first ever travel and trade destination showcase for Antigua and Barbuda. Coming off of such a robust winter tourist season, the premiere of 'Showcase Antigua Barbuda' will allow us to continue to work with our international partners to directly introduce them to our superb local tourism product." - John Maginley, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Antigua and Barbuda

"No government would want to be judged by history for failing to use the obvious tremendous potential of a restored and improved Social Partnership to avoid devaluation. We must act together. We must act our anthem. We must be firm craftsmen of our fate." - Professor Henry Fraser, Dean of Medical Sciences, University of the West Indies, and Professor Emeritus of Medicine (Barbados Advocate)

"If you have dreams, you need goals." - A.R. Bernard, Senior Pastor, Christian Cultural Center, Brooklyn, New York  

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." - Maya Angelou, Author/ Civil Rights Advocate
