“It shows the dynamism of our destination and falls fully in line with Minister Edmund Bartlett’s drive to aggressively grow the industry and ensure that more of the tourism dollars spent in Jamaica stay in Jamaica. Millions of dollars have been pumped into Kingston alone over the last several days into this weekend, spreading far and wide from taxi driver, hairdressers and make-up artists to hotels, restaurants, bars, and grocery stores,” he said.
