AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Cruise & Entertainment: Margaritaville at Sea is gearing up for a landmark three-ship gathering in Nassau on Jan. 28, 2027, with Paradise, Islander and the new Beachcomber all docking together for an exclusive Zac Brown Band concert at the Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheatre. Tourism Policy & Community: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says Jamaica’s US$10 billion, 10-million-visitor target can’t rely on hotels alone, pushing community-based tourism as the engine for authentic experiences and long-term resilience. Travel Planning for Visitors: A new guide says Jamaica is largely ready for 2026 travel after Hurricane Melissa, with major tourism corridors and airports back in operation—plus practical tips on where to go and how to prepare. Local Transport & Costs: Proposed Highway 2000 toll rate adjustments could raise a Caymanas–Ocho Rios round trip to as much as J$5,220, while Greater Portmore taxi operators complain JUTC bus services are cutting their passenger numbers. Visa Updates: Jamaica has published visa-free entry eligibility for 16 African countries in 2026, largely tied to Commonwealth membership. Safety & Family Travel: Westmoreland health officials urge parents to protect children during summer break from heat stress, poisoning risks and unsafe situations. Jamaica Tourism Business: Sandals’ US$200M Jamaica transformation is set to reopen three resorts starting Nov. 2026 with refreshed rooms, pools and new programming. Marine Attractions Watch: A Saint Lucian company is set to become majority shareholder of Dolphin Cove’s Jamaican-listed operator, raising questions about transparency and who controls the business.
