AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Cruise Boost: Jamaica expects its cruise momentum to keep building after welcoming 736,000 cruise passengers from 234 ship calls between January and July, with officials also flagging new calls like Disney Destiny at Falmouth from Oct. 13. Hotel Recovery: Tourism recovery is accelerating too, with Jamaica Tourist Board saying more than 11,000 rooms are set to return to market in 2026–2027, including 1,900+ rooms reopening in December alone. Tourism Demand: Jamaica also reported 2.34 million visitor arrivals through Aug. 31, generating US$2.5 billion, despite reduced room stock after Hurricane Melissa. Tourism-Agri Link: Government says local farmers will get first preference supplying the tourism sector under “Tourism 3.0,” aiming to keep more tourism dollars in rural communities and strengthen food security. Attraction Upgrade: Dunn’s River Falls and Park is slated for major redevelopment to turn the iconic stop into a full-day destination with new recreation, dining and environmental protections. Small Business Investment: Minister Edmund Bartlett met Saudi Eksab to explore financing and support for Jamaica’s small and micro tourism enterprises. JAPEX Trade Push: JAPEX 2026 (Sept. 14–17) returns to Ocho Rios as Jamaica markets itself to international buyers while rebuilding post-Melissa capacity.
