Jamaica business delegation visit here triggers buzz in Kingston

Chairman of the Jamaica Airport Authority Anthony Mark Hart

Some of the earliest outcomes of the January 23-28 visit to Guyana undertaken by a Trade Mission by the country’s Caribbean Community (CARICOM) partner has already begun to manifest themselves according to reports emanating from Jamaica.

Earlier this week one of the island’s leading daily newspapers, the Jamaica Observer, quoted the Chairman of the Airports Authority, Anthony Mark-Hart, as opining that the extent of the envisaged investment opportunities for potential Jamaican investors would appear to warrant the establishment of a direct airline service between the two countries. Hart who was, himself, a member of a 70-member delegation headed by Jamaica’s Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Senator Aubyn Hill, which visited Guyana from January 23 to 28 to explore business opportunities here appears to see potentially lucrative opportunities from the establishment of a reliable air link between the two countries.
