AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Tourism Policy & Local Supply: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says the “Local First” push is meant to turn tourism demand into Jamaican production—Jamaican contracts, jobs and wealth—using training, capital development and marketing, with the Tourism Enhancement Fund’s innovation incubator at the centre. Business & Visitor Economy: Bartlett also highlighted that “Christmas in July” has generated more than J$1 billion for local suppliers over the past decade, with this year’s event drawing 355 applications and 180 exhibitors. Sustainable Development: St James is considering special rates and incentives for developers who build with environmentally sustainable solutions, as Montego Bay’s growth accelerates. Hospitality Skills: D&G Foundation expanded its Brewtender programme to St Ann, training 15 bartenders to strengthen customer service and product knowledge ahead of peak summer travel. Brand Jamaica: Chris Gayle’s Rich Rum launch was framed as a boost for Jamaican-made, export-ready brands—turning global celebrity into local enterprise. Diaspora & Events: “Elegance: The Ballroom Experience” is drawing Jamaican diaspora visitors for July 19 at the Jamaica Pegasus, with special accommodation rates for attendees.
