Bartlett had made a strong case for tourism based on potential travellers’ passions (among them music sports and health and well-being) saying “music is the greatest of these passions”. And he said there was room for two more major annual music events in Jamaica to boost the tourist industry. In addition to Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival there is also Reggae Sumfest in the summer. Music it seems is a passion that pays off. According to an article published in The Gleaner on January 28 2007 entitled ‘Hotels cash in on jazz festival’ it was estimated that the 2007 Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival pumped over $1 billion into Montego Bay’s and by extension Jamaica’s economy.

With the current downturn in the world financial sector anything such that will boost tourist arrivals is naturally very welcome.
