(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana)    In the wake of calls to harness the resources of sports for development, the CARICOM Council on Human and Social Development (COHSOD) at their 22nd Meeting in Georgetown, last week, agreed to establish a Regional Task Force on Sports Tourism to develop a strategy for harnessing the Region’s potential in sports.
The COHSOD, which focused on Youth Sports and Culture, reviewed evidence to support the claim that Sport Tourism could yield significant social and economic gains for the Region.
