On Wednesday, KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC—Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness confirmed that a new international airport will be established in the tourist resort town of Negril on the western end of the island.
The Prime Minister, speaking to travel advisors at the Sandals Jamaica Love sales event, also announced the opening of a new passenger terminal at the Sangster International Airport in the western city of Montego Bay.
He also mentioned the ongoing US$320-million South Coast highway that will link Harbour View in East Kingston to Port Antonio, in the eastern parish of Portland; the US$225-million perimeter road being built out of Montego Bay; the Lucea bypass road in the western parish of Hanover that would “cost a massive investment” and “spending, in five years, more money than had been spent in the previous 30 years” to make the country more secure.
He added that the airport projects would ensure that visitors could move seamlessly throughout the island, bringing with it the development of tourism in the eastern parishes of Portland and St Mary.
