Karisma Hotels and Resorts will add another 4,800 rooms to the Jamaican hotel landscape with the building of the US$1 billion Sugarcane Bay multi-resort in Llandovery, St Ann.

According
to Becerra, the new investment will create approximately 8,000 new jobs with
another 5,000 people also benefitting indirectly.
