MONTEGO BAY, St James - President of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mark Kerr-Jarrett has renewed the call for the construction of a convention centre in Montego Bay, urging prime minister PJ Patterson to break ground on the project.
"It has been some four or five years that that commitment (to construct the centre) has been given and I don't think we are elephants and we have that long gestation period. I would like to see the birth of this very quickly so that we can drive business in western Jamaica and Jamaica," the chamber president said. "We can open up a new arm of tourism, which is the commercial tourism, and hold large meetings. And so we call on the prime minister to convert on that promise in very, very short order." Kerr-Jarrett was speaking at Wednesday's press launch of Caribbean trade exposition 2005, which is to open on October 7.
