AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Resort Reopenings: Sandals Jamaica is planning major renovations across Sandals South Coast, Sandals Montego Bay, and Sandals Caribbean Cay, with reopenings clustered in Q4 2026—meaning couples should book early for winter 2026/2027 availability. Tourism Performance: Jamaica saw stayover tourist arrivals fall 27.5% in Q1 2026, with cruise arrivals down just 1.1%, as the island continues rebuilding after Hurricane Melissa. New Air Links: JetBlue launched three daily nonstop flights between Nashville and Fort Lauderdale, strengthening one-stop routes to Caribbean destinations including Jamaica. Partnerships & Local Growth: Hanover and Westmoreland are moving toward a twinning agreement with Zanzibar (“Spice Island”) to boost tourism, culture, technology, and agriculture exchanges. Diaspora Independence: Jamaica’s 64th Independence celebrations are set across the U.S., with church services, flag-raising, and major diaspora events planned in Washington, Miami, and New York. Travel Rules Watch: The UK updated its visa-required countries list, including Jamaica, so travellers should double-check entry and transit requirements before booking.
