World’s Foremost Environmentalist Will Chair Caribbean Media Exchange (CMEx)

The Caribbean Media Exchange (CMEx) on Sustainable Tourism to be held in Kingston, Jamaica next week has generated worldwide interest already and now comes the news that the event will be convened by none other than one of the world`s foremost experts on environmental conservation and development.

Jamaica`s Dr. Noel Brown, former director of the United Nations Environment Programme (North American Regional Office) and an accomplished diplomat, thinker and international civil servant, will chair the proceedings of the media and tourism conference in the Jamaican capital, from September 30 to October 4, 2010.

CMEx Vice President, Lelei LeLaulu said: “Noel Brown is so widely respected and awarded on the global stage it is an honor for us to return him to his own country to lead our talks which we hope will help Jamaica and the Caribbean identify options for harnessing tourism to help the region`s people build better lives for themselves.”

Dr. Brown holds a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Seattle University, an M.A. in International Law and Organization from Georgetown University and a Ph.D. in International Relations from Yale University. He also holds a diploma in International Law from The Hague Academy of International Law.

He currently serves as President of the Friends of the United Nations, a non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing the cause of the United Nations by mobilizing public support on its behalf and directing public attention to its major programmes and achievements.

In addition to participating in CMEx`s signature interactive symposia, delegates will also get the opportunity to experience the vibrant culture and rich heritage of Jamaica and engage in community service.

The event is expected to give a huge boost to the tourism on the island and Jamaica rentals are all set to welcome the guests and give them a life time experience of services and hospitality.
