Jamaica Uniquely Positioned to Capitalise on Tourism Industry’s Growing Demands  

• Jamaica is uniquely positioned to further capitalise on the growing demands of tourism. This is through the Tourism Innovation Incubator, which facilitates the implementation of new ideas and experiences among locals to add to the tourism value chain, Portfolio Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett highlighted.
• He noted that since the facility’s establishment, several Jamaicans have participated in the initiative, which allows them access to $100Mn to transform ideas into profitable projects. He was addressing journalists at Jamwest Motorsports and Adventure Park in Little London, Westmoreland, following the conclusion of a two-day tour across the parishes of Hanover and Westmoreland, from March 23 to 24.
• This Tourism Innovation Incubator not only sets locals on an economic growth path but further cement Jamaica as a “thought leader” in the region and the world. the more Jamaicans are able to monetise their ideas and experiences in the industry, the more it re-emphasizes tourism’s inclusivity, with locals sharing in the sector’s ownership.
