The government has dismissed concerns sparked by online advertisements promoting birth tourism in Barbados, stating that available data do not show any trend warranting alarm or changes to existing policies.
Minister of Home Affairs Gregory Nicholls told Barbados TODAY that the Immigration Department has been monitoring these advertisements on social media for years.
Reports surfaced this week of at least one African travel company advertising birth tourism services in at least six countries, two of which are CARICOM members, including Barbados.
