BARBADOS is inviting the region and beyond to its ten-day celebration of the arts – Carifesta XV – which will also serve as a think-tank towards viable solutions to topical issues such as the climate crisis.

"Caribbean Roots, Global Excellence" is the theme of this year's celebration which runs from August 22-31.

Newsday spoke to Graham Clarke of the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc (BTMI) who had flown in from Barbados to do a media blitz in TT on July 22 to promote Carifesta, before flying on to Guyana.
