AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Tourism Demand: Jamaica welcomed 2.34 million visitors through Aug. 31, generating US$2.5 billion, with Minister Edmund Bartlett citing resilient demand even as room stock sits at about 70% after Hurricane Melissa. Local Linkages: Government says local farmers will get first preference supplying the tourism sector, aiming to shift resort purchasing to domestic produce via long-term contracts under “Tourism 3.0.” Tourism Recovery & Trade: JAPEX 2026 (Sept. 14–17) returns to Ocho Rios, positioning Jamaica as “open for business” while rebuilding capacity post-Melissa. Resilience Spotlight: World Travel Week in Negril (Oct. 10–15) will launch the Tourism Resilience Awards, paired with World Travel Awards. Events for Visitors: Kingston International Festival runs Dec. 6–13 under “Feel the Pulse of Kingston,” with citywide arts, fashion, film and a Reggae Marathon. Travel Tech: TEF Tourism Innovation Incubator backs new tourism tech ventures, including GemVoyage’s platform to improve visitor experiences and transport operations. Culture & Music: Reggae Sumfest and other reggae guides keep fueling travel interest, while Iris Stryx links with Sizzla on reggae gospel single “Who God Says I Am.”
