AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Tourism Funding Boost: Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says more than $4B has been allocated for FY 2026/27 to strengthen the tourism brand, improve global competitiveness, and push marketing into Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia and more. Public Beach Access: Bartlett also reiterated the government will keep upgrading public beaches, citing that only a portion of coastline is suitable for swimming, while stressing that most upgraded beaches are accessible and entry fees are limited. JAPEX Launch: The Jamaica Product Exchange (JAPEX) 2026 was officially launched, with the investment framed as part of the Tourism 3.0 push for better airlift connectivity and destination marketing. Safety & Security Focus: The tourism push is tied to “three S’s” messaging—safety, security and seamlessness—as Jamaica positions itself for stronger visitor demand. Crime & Enforcement: Jamaica Customs detailed a major cocaine bust—over 2 tonnes seized—highlighting tech-led scanning and intelligence operations. Travel Demand Pressure: TUI reported weaker results as the Iran war and higher fuel costs push customers to book later, a reminder of how global shocks can hit Caribbean travel planning. Cruise Spotlight: Nassau Cruise Port earned a nomination for Caribbean’s Best Cruise Terminal 2026, reinforcing the region’s cruise momentum. Community Impact: A demolition in Coopers Pen, Trelawny, displaced families overnight, reigniting debate over land rights and rule-of-law boundaries.
