Jamaica Mexican outfit Karisma Hotels and Resorts Tuesday afternoon said it is investing more than US$900 million in a mega hotel project in St Ann that will add 4,000 additional rooms to Jamaica’s tourism sector over 10 years and provide at least 8,000 direct jobs.
Karisma’s vice-president of corporate affairs and business development Ruben Becerra made the announcement at a press briefing at the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) flanked by JTB Chairman Dennis Morrison and Director of Tourism Paul Pennicooke.
Karisma already operates the 138-suite Sensatori Jamaica hotel in Negril and is now expanding the property with an additional 149 suites.
“We are extremely excited to continue working and growing alongside the people of Jamaica, and we remain committed to further enhancing the already bourgeoning tourism industry here,” Becerra said.
