Nine cruise ships are slated to arrive in Port Antonio, Portland, over a five-month period, which will represent a significant improvement in tourist's arrival to the resort town.
Port Antonio, which is the island's cradle of tourism, has been struggling with tourist arrival since the fleet of Norwegian Caribbean Cruise line and Royal Caribbean vessels pulled out in the 1980s, taking their business elsewhere.
But with Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett promising to ensure that Portland receives its fair share of the tourism market, expectations are high that things could turn around for the better.
"Port Antonio will benefit from nine cruise ship arrivals from October 2018 to March 2019," said Bartlett.
