Trinidad was a Spanish island for 200 years until Britain seized it in 1797.
One million tourists arrived in Jamaica during the first nine weeks of 2019, which generated revenues of about $800 million.
Edmund Bartlett, tourism minister, stressed that fact allowed the country to be the first tourist destination in the Caribbean to reach that figure in the current year in such a short period of time.
Bartlett reported that they work on the continued development of the gastronomic network, an attraction highly valued by travelers as 88% of them visit the nation attracted by their traditional meals, while bringing benefits to the local population.
The government's Tourism Liaison Network will invest more than 300 million dollars in the 2019/20 fiscal year in the development of this industry, stressed the head of tourism.
We started by creating a new image of the area of Lilliput - Montego Bay, on the north coast - where we have about 3,000 hotel rooms right now. By the end of this year we will have 2,000 more rooms in the Rose Hall area, which will mean an increase in demand for goods and services for Jamaica,' he added.
