Sometimes we look at tourism, big business investments, and our people moving abroad as separate things. But they all come down to one simple question: Why do people choose one country over another? Whether you are a tourist looking for a vacation, an investor looking to start a business, or a parent looking for a safe place to raise your kids, you want the same things. You want a place that is safe, a place where things work, and a place with real opportunities. This is exactly why Jamaica must be a destination of choice. Look at Riu Hotels. Twenty-five years ago, they believed in us and built their first hotel in Negril. Today, they have seven properties across the island. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars into our economy and helped thousands of Jamaicans build real careers, turning everyday workers into managers. This is how we grow Jamaica through a simple chain reaction. Tourists come and see how beautiful our island and our people are. That experience builds trust in Brand Jamaica, and trust brings big investments that create good jobs. When we have those good jobs right here, our talented people can stay home to build our own economy instead of leaving for overseas. So, when we build new roads, improve water systems, fix up housing, and work on public safety, these are not random projects. They are all part of one big mission to make Jamaica a better place for you to live, work, and raise your families.(Andrew Holness)
