AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Tourism Policy & Investment: Jamaica’s hotel and tourism lobby says uncertainty over a proposed jump in the sector’s GCT from 10% to 15% is making investors “restive,” with calls for the issue to be resolved quickly. Beach Access & Reputation: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett pushed back on claims Jamaicans are being denied beach access, saying Jamaica has 70 public bathing beaches and only a small number are paid, warning the narrative is harming the country’s image. Sports Tourism & Inclusion: Montego Bay will host the 2026 Special Olympics Caribbean Beach Games at Harmony Beach Park (Nov 18–22), expected to draw about 2,000 athletes and officials across 20 countries. Disaster Resilience & Community Support: Airbnb.org reports it has used more than 1,000 nights of emergency housing in Jamaica since 2020, mainly after Hurricane Melissa. Safety on the Water: NEPA says it will step up drowning awareness, targeting children after a fatal pool incident in Westmoreland. Infrastructure Update: The NWA is fast-tracking repairs to reopen the Over River Bridge in St James before the new school year. Regional Links: UNIA is urging Jamaica and Ghana to pursue direct air links to boost trade and tourism.
