Turizm vaziri Edmund Bartlett Yamaykaning turizm sektori o'tgan haftada turizmni rivojlantirish bo'yicha uchta yirik loyiha doirasida mehmonxonalarni rivojlantirish uchun sektorga 250 million AQSh dollari miqdorida sarmoya kiritilayotgani e'lon qilinishi bilan katta o'sish bo'lganini ma'lum qildi.
Yaqinda tarixiy Devon uyida kengaytirilgan Spruce Up Jamaica dasturining matbuot taqdimotida so'zlagan vazir, "yanvar oyining uchinchi haftasi Yamaykaning turizm sanoati uchun uzoq vaqtdan beri eng kuchli bo'ldi. Bu biz bir hafta ichida e'lon qilgan eng katta investitsiyalar to'plami bo'lib, ularning umumiy qiymati taxminan 250 million AQSh dollarini tashkil qiladi. Buning to‘plangan ish o‘rinlari salohiyati salkam 5,000 ming ish o‘rni yaratilishi bilan ahamiyatlidir”.
O'tgan hafta Ispaniyada bo'lganida, vazir Bartlett Excellence Luxury Hotel va Resorts guruhi vakillari bilan Oyster Bay, Trelawny shahrida ikkita mehmonxona qurish to'g'risida shartnoma imzoladi, bu esa orolning xona fondiga 700 dan ortiq xonalarni qo'shadi. 2018-yilning birinchi yarmida ochiladigan birinchi mehmonxona 110 million dollarga quriladi. Loyiha qurilish va foydalanish bosqichlarida 2,000 ga yaqin yangi ish o‘rinlarini yaratishi kutilmoqda.
O'tgan hafta Kingstonda Sandals Resorts International, Marriot International va ATL Automotive o'rtasidagi hamkorlik bo'yicha 50 million AQSh dollariga teng bo'lgan AC mehmonxonasi qurilishi uchun asos ham buzildi.
Bu yaqinda Sandals Resorts International tomonidan Portlenddagi Dragon Bay mehmonxonasini rivojlantirish uchun 100 million AQSh dollari miqdorida sarmoya kiritilishi haqidagi e'lon fonida yuz berdi.
Vazir Bartlett “tez orada bizda yana to'rtta mehmonxona bo'ladi. Trelawnyda ikkita. Biri Kingstonda, biri Port Antonioda. To'plangan ish salohiyati 5,000 ga yaqin. Bu Trelawny dan 2,000, qurilish orqali va keyin 600 doimiy ish o'rni. Dragon Bay bo'ladigan mehmonxona turi tufayli 800 ish o'rni bilan Port Antoniodan yana ming plyus. Shunday qilib, xonaning xodimlarga nisbati yuqoriroq. Keyin, albatta, shahar mehmonxonasi."
Sektorga investitsiyalar har doim yuqori ekanligini ta'kidlab, u qo'shimcha qildi: "Biz yanada tajovuzkor bo'lamiz, chunki biz Yamaykaning investitsiyalar va o'sish sohasidagi strategik mavqeidan foydalanish uchun barcha imkoniyatlarni qidiramiz. Hozirgacha qilgan sa’y-harakatlarimiz o‘z samarasini bermoqda va ishonchim komilki, bu yil ham biz to‘rt million tashrifni qayd etamiz”.
