Award-winning management consultant specialist Rudi Page's appointment as Director of International Diaspora Relations for Countrystyle Community Tourism Network/Villages as Businesses (CCTN/VAB) is timely and fortuitous. He develops policy implementation for International Trade Support, Healthcare Management Systems, Workforce Development (Equalities) and Corporate Social Impact recently developing the Caribbean Diaspora Delivery System (CDDS), a facilitated framework for the digital transformation of the traditional Diaspora leadership, management and involvement model by providing strategic leadership in communication, governance, structure and implementation.

London-based Page has been receiving a stream of welcoming remarks from the CCTN/VAB management team including Founder/President, Diana McIntyre-Pike who said: “CCTN/VAB are delighted to have Rudi Page to manage this area and assist us to further develop and promote our Community Tourism network. He has informed that one of his first duties is to develop a Diaspora Engagement Plan for 2017.”

Lou D’Amore, Founder & President, International Institute for Peace through Tourism, added: “Your experience and expertise will prove to be a great asset in promoting Community Tourism to Jamaica and the Caribbean.” 

"I’m looking forward to building relationships across all sectors throughout the Diaspora and beyond," Rudi said

"The International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development 2017 provides Jamaica and the region with great opportunities for achieving inclusive growth." 

He anticipates building on existing relationships between the UK/USA/Canada Diaspora and the Caribbean Region, to create sustainable development and help increase Jamaica’s economic development in accordance with the Economic Growth Council and Vision 2030’s National Development Plan, a 'roadmap' for making "Jamaica, the place of choice to live, work, raise families and do business.”
