Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says there are strong indications that Jamaica could reach its goal of five million visitors in a single year, earlier than previously projected.
Bartlett, who is currently in Asia as part of a two-week overseas trip, which includes stops in Addis Ababa, Dubai and Bangkok, added in an interview with the Jamaica Information Service (JIS) that the country seems poised to make inroads in the Asian and African markets, which would significantly boost earlier projections.
He said, during meetings with tourism officials from several countries in Africa, there was strong interest in Jamaica's tourism product.
Following a meeting with dignitaries in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, he told the JIS that there was also a significant interest from Nigeria, where there is a huge middle class.
