ST JAMES, Jamaica — Cabinet has approved $100 million for the Jamaica Tourist Board to increase advertising and marketing for the sector, as the state of public emergency (SOE) continues in the parish of St James, where the tourism capital of Montego Bay is located.
According to a release from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett is currently leading activities and speaking with stakeholders.
OPM said Prime Minister Andrew Holness made the disclosure yesterday when he met with stakeholders from several sectors including members of the business, tourism, church, and civic communities.
The prime minister told players in the tourism sector that the Government has a comprehensive plan to limit any impact on the sector.
He also gave the assurance that the Government does not intend to have a permanent state of public emergency in the parish and is committed to restoring public safety and the rule of law order while dismantling the ecosystem of crime in St James and the wider Jamaica. more
