jamaica secures one million new seats

News Posted On: 07 November 2008

Owners of overseas property in Jamaica could benefit from an influx of tourists in the near future.

The ministry of tourism in Jamaica has increased the number of flights to the country from a variety of established and emerging markets, reports Caribbean360.com.

Among the markets that to be opened further to Jamaica will be the United States, Canada and Europe.

Edmund Bartlett, minister for tourism, said: "We have 744,000 seats out of the US for the winter tourist season, 153,000 seats out of Canada, and an adequate amount out of Europe"

He added that "seat security" meant that when holidaymakers want to travel to the island nation, they will be able to secure passage there.

Mr Bartlett noted that the new agreements included the first direct flight from Vancouver to the Caribbean, a route that would allow connections to other gateways.

Jamaica is currently on track to realise projected tourism earnings of $2 billion (£1.2 billion) in 2008, according to Mr Bartlett.

The Jamaica Observer reported that interest from Canada in the Caribbean country has grown by 25 per cent.
