Jamaica is poised to welcome a brand new mega-resort, it was announced at the World Travel Market (WTM) in London last week.
The country's Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett and his team met with international hotel group, Lopesan, which revealed it's seeking to develop a 1,000-room luxury resort on the island.
Details about the resort remain scarce for now but Bartlett said the development would generate over 2,500 direct and indirect jobs, and positively impact farmers, manufacturers, small businesses and other stakeholders.
Lopesan currently boasts more than 17,000 hotel rooms across Europe, Asia and the Caribbean.
