AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Aviation Policy Boost: Jamaica’s Senate has approved the Civil Aviation (Amendment) Act, 2026, aiming to tighten aviation safety oversight, modernise accident/incident investigation rules, and update penalties to match international standards. New Air Link to Latin America: Wingo launched a direct Medellín–Montego Bay route, with 117 passengers arriving on the inaugural flight, as Jamaica pushes to diversify beyond traditional markets—especially Colombia. Tourism Workforce Security: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says the Tourism Workers Pension Scheme is now worth $5.3 billion, with 10,000+ workers registered and benefits set to begin at age 65 for those meeting the vesting period. Wellness Tourism Push: JACANA unveiled a Caribbean Wellness Platform, bringing botanical personal care, plant medicines, and nature-based experiences under one brand built on its St. Ann organic farm. Regional Cooperation: Jamaica and Guyana signed agreements covering energy (including a new energy working group), security/defence, tourism, agriculture, and financial services—cementing a broader macro-regional partnership. Public Beach Access: Montego Bay and Ocho Rios officials reiterated that public beach access remains protected while management and infrastructure improvements continue. Safety Alert: Two people died in a fiery crash on the Williamsfield leg of Highway 2000 early Saturday morning.
