AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoAir Travel: Flights between Jamaica and the US have resumed after a communications outage grounded US flights, but delays and cancellations continue as airlines restore schedules. Kingston’s Norman Manley Airport reported three Saturday cancellations and Sangster International four; Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett is monitoring the impact, given the US supplies about 68.6% of Jamaica’s visitors. Negril Investment: The Cliff Hotel has acquired neighbouring Idle Awhile, adding seven villas and suites to its expansion plans, which include a wellness centre and more gardens. The property will operate as Orchid Point Bungalows this winter while plans are finalised. Tourism Workforce: A $24-billion housing project in St. James will build 1,446 homes, with at least 20% reserved for tourism workers and 60% of the workforce set to be Jamaican. Local Benefits: Bartlett says Jamaica must keep more visitor spending in local communities, while a recent commentary raises concerns that tourism development can limit residents’ access to beaches.
