WASHINGTON — Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who took office only two months ago, visited Washington last week along with his top economic aide to pitch the Caribbean island nation as an ideal destination for U.S. investment.
Jamaica, which recently inaugurated a new prime minister, expects “substantial growth” in tourist arrivals this year.
On Dec. 30, with only two days left in 2013, Jamaica welcomed its two millionth air passenger to the island — the first time it has ever accomplished that in one year.
