Jamaica’s Sun Coast, Jamaica’s Fun Coast
Development Phase: We will develop from Port Royal through Harbour View and East to Morant Point, and brand it as Jamaica’s Sun
Coast, Jamaica’s Fun Coast.
This is anticipated to create upwards of 50,000 jobs. This coast contains 50% of Jamaica’s heritage and provides an unequalled opportunity
to create new income earning heritage tourism products for the country. We will fast track a development plan for the coastal area from
Port Royal to Morant Bay. Developing the engineering and infra-structural criteria for the construction of hotels, villas, casinos, shopping,
heritage sites, wet land reserves/parks etc. will generate jobs for architects, environmentalists, urban planners, engineers, financiers,
support staff at all levels, providers of accommodation and food service,etc.
Post-Implementation
With developments substantially completed we would see the job pattern moving to the addition of long term and permanent jobs in the
servicing and supply of the new communities.
We anticipate approximately 30,000 jobs would be generated in maintenance and landscaping; housekeeping and management
services to hotels, villas and vacation homes; maintenance and operation of local transportation; demand for local foods and products;
communications and Internet provision and management; travel services; road and other infrastructural maintenance; restaurant, sporting
and entertainment businesses, etc.
