And Wykeham McNeill, Minister of State for Industry and Tourism, yesterday lauded the country's tourism players for the ranking in the House of Representatives. He was making his contribution to the 2004/05 Sec-toral Debate.
"What I want to do is to thank our hotels, attractions, Air Jamaica, the Jamaica Tourist Board and especially our proud tourism workers for putting Jamaica at the pinnacle of the wedding and honeymoon market," said Mr. McNeill.
