European cruise vessel pays visit to Portland,Jamaica
CRUISE VESSEL, Minerva II, visited Port Antonio for the first time, when it docked at the Ken Wright Shipping Pier during inclement weather about 6:30 a.m. yesterday. On a day when the resort town experienced lingering showers due to persistent rainfall, the European vessel pulled in with approximately 634 passengers and 320 crew members who were, from all indications, looking forward to a funfilled day. Cynthia Perry, parish manager of the local Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) office said significant progress has been made in reviving tourism at the resort town since the launch of the new tourism master plan for Port Antonio.
"We are on the verge of seeing a resurgence in tourism here," said Mrs. Perry. "Cruise vessels are now beginning to return and the hard work put out by my office, the Portland Parish Council, the Portland Chamber of Commerce, the Tourist Resort Board, along with the business community is now paying off."
