Jamaica s room inventory could grow by 4,800 or more by the end of 2023 in what tourism minister Edmund Bartlett called a huge vote of confidence for the island destination. The future of tourism in Jamaica is very bright, and our goal to dramatically increase the number of hotel rooms in the destination is still on track, despite the challenges we ve been facing, Bartlett said at the recent Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association virtual Marketplace event.
