Jamaica: more than tourism

Why Jamaica?

While it’s known as one of the beauties of the Caribbean, replete with natural beauty and captivating culture, Jamaica also enjoys high levels of global investor interest. The current government is positioning Jamaica as the next global logistics hub, a move that has won the support of local and multinational companies.

The island has accommodated more than US$6 billion in foreign direct investments over the past decade, mainly attributed to expanding investments in business process outsourcing and tourism. Other growing sectors include agribusiness mining, energy and manufacturing, plus logistics, medical tourism and the animation arts.

There is well-developed infrastructure, robust telecommunications, a vibrant and stable political environment, and strong air and sea connections. A pro-business destination that offers a strong competitive advantage through unique raw material inputs, strategic market access and lower operational costs, Jamaica is a near-shore destination that’s waiting to be explored.
