Bar­ba­dos’ Prime Min­is­ter Mia Amor Mot­t­ley says she is keen for the is­land to re­sume air­lift with Ger­many, West­ern Eu­rope, and Scan­di­navia, and is op­ti­mistic that the Hon­orary Con­sul to Ger­many, Regi­na Sixt, can use her busi­ness con­nec­tions to achieve this.

Mot­t­ley and Sixt re­cent­ly held talks at Ilaro Court, where they ex­plored a co-mar­ket­ing arrange­ment with Sixt Car Rentals to as­sist in pro­mot­ing Bar­ba­dos as a des­ti­na­tion of choice in the Ger­man mar­ket.

The Prime Min­is­ter and the Hon­orary Con­sul al­so ex­plored ways to go af­ter cor­po­rate busi­ness in Ger­many. On this mat­ter, the Hon­orary Con­sul ex­tend­ed an in­vi­ta­tion to Bar­ba­dos to at­tend a con­ven­tion in Copen­hagen, at which ma­jor play­ers in the car rental and tour op­er­a­tor busi­ness­es will be present.

In ad­di­tion, the two of­fi­cials dis­cussed the pre­sen­ta­tion of string in­stru­ments to com­ple­ment gov­ern­ment’s String Project in pri­ma­ry schools, and the con­struc­tion of a new con­ven­tion cen­tre in Bay Street, among oth­er top­ics.
