Jamaica to enhance heritage sites for tourism

MORE than £1 million is to be spent by the Jamaican government on its heritage sites. 

‘Many people travel for sun, sea and sand, but the truth is that a lot of countries have that to offer,’ says Minister of Tourism and Entertainment Dr Wykeham McNeill.

‘We have to offer something that is different, and what we have is our heritage and culture. This is what sets us apart: our food, our music, and our people. We have a story to tell and we must do it in such a way that our children know where they are coming from and visitors can hear our story.’
