Welcome to Jamaica

Hon. Portia Simpson Miller
Prime Minister of Jamaica

From the ‘One Love’ country, I extend a very warm Jamaican welcome. As a long-standing member of the Commonwealth, which represents for us a community of friends, Jamaica shares a commitment to the fundamental principles of freedom, democracy and world peace.

Our small nation of 2.7 million people also shares a proud tradition of influence in international diplomacy and outstanding recognition in areas such as sports, music and culture.

The name Jamaica captures the very essence of our country -- exquisitely beautiful hills and valleys, our delightful cuisine, the intoxicating rhythm of our music and the warmth, hospitality and passion of our people.

And yet, there is so much more to Jamaica. After more than a decade of unprecedented transformation of the social and physical infrastructure, Jamaica has emerged as a major investment and business centre in the Caribbean. Our ports, highways, road network and ICT infrastructure are internationally comparable and we now have the distinction of being ranked the world’s leading cruise destination.

Here’s our invitation to come and experience the irresistible lure of pure magic, the charm of our enchanting island, or the unique opportunities for investment and business success. Welcome to our island; the place we are proud to call home. One Love!
