Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey has lauded the team at Barbados Port Incorporated, who all made sure to play their part in Barbados winning the Destination of the Year category of the 2020 Seatrade Cruise Awards.
Competing with St Kitts and Nevis, as well as CruiseCopenhagen, Barbados won for its humanitarian efforts in ensuring cruise workers returned home.
Humphrey emphasised all efforts were not to seek rewards, but to help everyone in the height of the pandemic, in addition to attending to the needs of other Barbadians on board as well.
Barbados won for returning cruise staffers to their respective homelands during the COVID-19 curfew.
For the first time ever, the Seatrade Cruise Awards ceremony was held online as they celebrated the successes and resilience of the cruise community, after a challenging year. (PR)
