Twenty-five years ago, RIU Hotels & Resorts made a decision to invest in Jamaica. What started with one hotel has grown into a long-standing partnership that has helped shape our tourism industry. Over the past 25 years, RIU has created thousands of jobs for Jamaicans, supported local businesses, and welcomed millions of visitors to our shores. Today, as we celebrate this milestone, we recognize not only a successful hotel brand, but a valued partner in Jamaica’s development. On behalf of the Government and people of Jamaica, I congratulate RIU on 25 years of service, growth, and commitment to our country. May this partnership continue to thrive for many years to come.(Andrew Holness)
