AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Tourism Demand Update: Jamaica welcomed 2.34 million visitors as of August 31, generating US$2.5 billion in earnings, with the sector operating at about 70% room capacity after Hurricane Melissa and more properties set to reopen by end-2026 or early 2027. Local Food & Tourism Link: State Minister Tova Hamilton urged hotels to buy more Jamaican produce, push digital supply links like ALEX, and use forward procurement so farmers can plan and invest—positioning tourism as agriculture’s key business partner. Waste & Beach Protection: NEPA is inviting volunteers for International Coastal Cleanup Day 2026, with flagship cleanups at Shipwreck Beach (Sept 19) and Hellshire Bay (Sept 20), stressing that there is “no true away” for discarded waste. Community Resettlement: Government moves to relocate the first families displaced from Cooper’s Pen, with land surveying and relocation subsidies underway, plus modular housing deployments for vetted households. Tourism Infrastructure: NSWMA commissioned the George’s Plain Temporary Holding Area in Westmoreland, a $29M facility meant to improve garbage collection efficiency by reducing truck travel to the Retirement disposal site. Culture & Travel Vibe: A new study on Tobago’s Atlantic-facing beaches found 97% of recorded debris is plastic, highlighting the need for stronger coastal stewardship that directly affects visitor experiences.
