Tourism 3.0 Push: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says Jamaica’s next phase is “Tourism 3.0,” aiming to turn visitor growth into broader local retention and economic participation, with plans like a Tourism Supply Logistics Centre and a “Local First” policy to cut import leakage and boost Jamaican suppliers. Workforce & Skills: Bartlett also reported that Jamaica Centre for Tourism Innovation has certified over 25,000 tourism workers through benchmarked programmes, alongside growth in the Tourism Workers Pension Scheme. Tourism Infrastructure for Jobs: The proposed Tourism Supply Logistics Centre would link ports, airports, farms, factories and community producers to strengthen the tourism supply chain and create wider job opportunities. Beach Access Politics: PNP municipal leaders distanced themselves from the Government’s beach access plan, while others reaffirmed support for unrestricted public access and coastal resilience. Diaspora Dollars & Giving Back: Diaspora investment continues to lean heavily toward real estate, and volunteers restored a hurricane-impacted school in Montego Bay through a Day of Service. New Route for Visitors: Wingo launched a new Montego Bay–Medellín route three times weekly, adding low-cost regional connectivity. Health & Interns: Health Minister Tufton ordered a 72-hour audit of medical interns’ accommodation and duty rosters across public facilities.
