Jamaica is poised to welcome a brand new mega-resort. Last week, this was announced at the World Travel Market (WTM) in London.
According to a TravelPulse report, 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 mega-resort on the island.
Details about the resort remain scarce, 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.
The announcement comes ahead of the official opening of the recently renovated $30 million Royalton White Sands resort in Trelawny next month.
Additionally, the island will celebrate the opening of two major resorts before the summer of 2024. The new Princess Resort in Hanover will open 1,000 rooms, and the RIU Palace Aquarelle resort will add 753 more in Trelawny, creating around 2,500 new jobs.
