What is Jamaica’s advantage over regional competitors?

  • Jamaica sits at the doorway of the Panama Canal - at the junction of global trade corridors with regional  trade routes
  • Maritime, aviation and telecommunications capabilities which are particularly attractive to investors seeking to enter new markets
  • Our natural competitive advantage is being refined around sea-sea, sea-air and air-air connectivity supported by free zones, special economic zones, industrial parks, logistics parks, and technology parks
  • A highly skilled, educated and trainable workforce, and the third largest English-speaking nation in the Western Hemisphere
