President of the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association, JHTA, Robin Russell, believes the local tourism industry has reaped substantial benefits from Carnival in Jamaica 2025.
The event climaxed on Sunday with road marches and revelry throughout the corporate area, climaxing in a massive party at Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre on Hope Road in St. Andrew.
Revelers and onlookers lined the streets as music blared from bands, all under the watchful gaze of the police and other security personnel.
Russell believes even ordinary vendors who tagged along with the bands, got in on the act.
And Mr Russell says industry players are assessing the potential impact of US tariffs on the sector.
Economists have not ruled out the possibility of Trump’s tariffs causing inflationary pressure outside the US market.
