We believe that the projects will bring huge benefits and stimulate entrepreneurship along with addressing pressing environmental issues. Here is further information which should allay any concerns and provide more information. <br>You are correct in saying that tourism is key to the region's economy. In 2008, travel and tourism provided over 2.1m jobs and 15% of the region's GDP but there is an opportunity to spread the benefits tourism brings further. <br>There are significant issues with youth unemployment in the Caribbean with as many as 30% of 20-24 year olds out of work. <br>The projects that we have chosen to develop may seem small, but they are very significant. They link to the globally-important environmental issues of waste management, fish and bee conservation - issues that are vital to food security. <br>By creating new, small-scale, local business opportunities many of the skills learned can be applied to any business which gives young people independence and choice. <br>These initiatives will offer choice, new opportunities and new skills for entrepreneurship with the aim that this will create new jobs and opportunities for income generation. <br>The Travel Foundation and Virgin Atlantic The Travel Foundation and Virgin Atlantic were concerned to read your comments on our work together in the Caribbean.
