  • Kingston being transformed into destination city

    KINGSTON, Jamaica - Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, has become the centre of trade and commerce in the island, with many companies and organisations setting up shop in the corporate area.

    "Other plans include reopening Jubilee Market to remove some 60 vendors from the streets and reorganising the Rae Rae market to facilitate both vendors and some taxi operators," it also added.

    Mayor Williams added that the municipality will continue to build out of the concept of the Kulture Key space, blending recreation and business activity, and creating a robust nightlife.

    “When we put in the bricks [that line the streets of the Kulture Key] and we started to do the murals, part of it was to soften the area, so that people could come into the space and feel relaxed,” he said.

    Jamaicans urged to visit Kingston Creative District

    Jamaicans are being encouraged to visit and experience the Kingston Creative District, as downtown Kingston continues to undergo a major transformation.

    “Kingston is changing and it's changing for the better. I think more Jamaicans need to see and know what is happening down here,” said Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with Responsibility for Information, Robert Morgan.

    “The municipality has done a lot of work in terms of improving the space and Jamaicans would be happy with what is going on,” he added.


    As tourists continue to flock the space, local business operators along the streets have indicated an uptick in activity.

    “Speaking with some of the people who have businesses here like a bar owner and restaurant owner, they spoke to me about how their businesses have improved (because) people from all over the world are coming to enjoy the environment,” Morgan told JIS News.

    “I think that whenever you have a change that takes place that benefits ordinary Jamaicans that is something that is very good,” he noted.
