BARBADOS must take a fresh look at its strategy to tap into the growing international market of education.

It is the advice of managing director of the Student Centre Sheena Alleyne, who believes the island’s strength in tourism is a plank on which it can build a viable and competitive edutourism business. She is therefore advocating more attention be paid to this potentially lucrative area.

It aims to promote Barbados as an international study destination.
