Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica's minister of tourism, unveiled his tourism master plan to the Parliament of Jamaica last week.

Jamaica recorded 3.6 million stopover and cruise visitors combined and revenues of US$2.5 billion in 2015, the island's Tourism Minister said.

A key Senate panel approved several provisions Thursday to ease travel and trade with Cuba, although the provisions must still be reconciled with the House.

Gov. Kenneth Mapp said Tuesday that the recent trade trip to China provided the opportunity for Virgin Islands travel authorities to meet Chinese officials regarding increased tourism to the territory.

Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism says the multi-destination marketing of countries within the Caribbean will serve to boost visitor arrivals and add value to the region.

Director of Tourism, Paul Pennicook, says Jamaica is not satisfied with arrivals from traditional and emerging markets, and will be targeting new territories to fully maximize its tourism potential.
