Admittedly, the numbers also reflect the island’s popularity as a cruise stopover, but land stays have also increased considerably, bolstered by its healthy summer season. Indeed, a full recovery to normal business levels is now expected in 2023, a year ahead of expectations. It is testament to the enduring appeal of Jamaica. The island has such a rich and varied culture including the enduring legacy of Reggae superstar Bob Marley, amazing geography, superb beaches, a buzzy scene in its revitalised urban centres, and it is home to some of the Caribbean’s most cherished luxury hotels and resorts.
