At the groundbreaking ceremony in Hanover recently, Prime Minister Andrew Holness hailed the Palladium Hotel Group’s 950-room expansion project as a resounding vote of confidence in the Jamaican government and its growth agenda.

Following the annual strategic meeting with Inverotel, a prominent Spanish hotel investment group, held in January in Spain, Minister Bartlett successfully negotiated enhanced labour market arrangements for Jamaica's tourism workforce. These improvements specifically target housing, professional development and retirement security.

In January, Minister Bartlett welcomed the opening of the Red Stripe Experience at Rick’s Café in the famed Negril Westend, highlighting its use of art, music and digital displays to showcase the iconic brew's history and authentic Jamaican culture.

In December, Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett officially opened the Princess Senses The Mangrove and Princess Grand Jamaica in Green Island, Hanover. This US$400 million luxury all-inclusive resort is set to include Jamaica's first full-service casino in 2025.

Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett called for global tourism stakeholders to embrace digital technologies to build industry resilience at the opening of the 3rd Global Tourism Resilience Conference & Expo, held from February 17-19, 2025, at the Princess Grand Jamaica, Hanover.
