  • $1 billion generated from Reggae Sumfest

    Montego Bay has been on the receiving end of a much-needed cash windfall.

    That’s according to Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett who has indicated that $1 billion was generated at the just concluded Reggae Sumfest music festival held at the Catherine Hall Entertainment Complex in Montego Bay, St James

    “This year was arguably the largest Reggae Sumfest in terms of attendance from both local and overseas guests. On the visitor arrival side, we saw approximately 10,000 people coming to the island for the festival which is an increase of 3,000 over last year. More importantly, we estimate the revenue impact from the festival to be $1 billion based on average room nights stay of locals and visitors and taxes,” said Bartlett through a press release from his ministry.

          very rare they move these festivals and it survive. They tried that with Sunsplash, Jazz and Blues and others. The only one I know survive is Rebel Salute. I will just say to them do it with caution.
