Jamaica Welcomes More Visitors Than Population
http://www.caribbeantoday.com/other/lifestyle/travel/item/23100-jamaica-welcomes-more-visitors-than-population.html Jamaica has welcomed more visitors than the population, confirming the country’s status as one of the elite destinations in the Caribbean. According to Tourism and Entertainment Minister Dr. Wykeham McNeill, for the past two years the country has been receiving two million stopover visitors and 1.5 million from the cruise ships annually, more than the population of 2.5 million.

“Bringing in more people than our current population is no ordinary feat … and we are not done as yet,” he said, noting that currently, there are 2,500 new hotel rooms under construction.
He said never in Jamaica’s history the island has had so many rooms being built simultaneously and that, in addition to the current boom, there are about 7,000 more rooms in the pipeline.
McNeill said his mantra as minister has always been about what is in the best interest of the Jamaican people and that every effort will be made to ensure that many Jamaicans are employed during the construction phase of the new rooms that are coming on stream.
He said that with the new rooms coming on stream, there will be over 10,000 jobs that will be available and has urged Jamaicans to get themselves certified to meet the demand. Tourism is one of the major foreign exchange earners for Jamaica, which in 2013 entered into a four-year $948.1 million Extended Fund Facility (EFF) agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
