Housing for Tourism Workers Built | Jamaica News

Jamaica’s tourism sector is getting a major housing boost with 4,000 new homes set to go up—targeted directly at workers in the industry. Led by Minister Edmund Bartlett, the initiative uses land acquired through the Tourism Enhancement Fund in Rose Hall, where existing residents are being offered upgraded infrastructure and plots to stay. Meanwhile, 1,500 units are under construction for tourism staff via a partnership with China Harbour Engineering and Jamaica’s Housing Agency. Major resorts like Grand Palladium are also stepping in, adding over 1,000 suites and 600 homes, while others have already delivered or are building hundreds more. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about ensuring the backbone of Jamaica’s economy has a stable place to call home.
