The Ministry of Tourism is reporting that Jamaica earned US$4.3 billion from the industry in 2024, with some 4.3 million visitors.
Portfolio Minister, Edmund Bartlett, made the disclosure on the JIS Television Programme ‘Get the Facts’, recently.
Mr. Bartlett said the sector finished the year strong, despite the slight shortfall in arrival figures due to aviation disruptions, Hurricane Beryl and geopolitical issues such as travel advisories.
The Minister further disclosed that Jamaica is on track to realise its 5x5x5 growth strategy of five million visitors and earnings of US$5 billion by 2025.
Mr. Bartlett noted that 1.6 million airline seats have been secured, so far, for the winter season, which, he said, “is the largest amount ever”.
