KINGSTON, Jamaica, JUNE 9, 2026 - Calvin G. Brown | Politics |  — Opposition Spokesperson on Tourism and Linkages, Andrea Purkiss, has delivered a blistering indictment of Jamaica’s tourism economy, using her maiden sectoral presentation in Parliament on Tuesday to catalogue a litany of anomalies she says must be investigated, upgraded and improved if the island is to recover lost market share and stem a decade of economic leakage.
