WATCH: Jamaica hosts Saudi Arabian investors
More than 70 Saudi Arabian business interests arrived in Jamaica on Friday for discussions with government officials on local investment prospects.
It is the largest and strongest group of investors from the Middle East to be hosted locally, according to Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett.
After arriving in the island, the group was hosted at a luncheon at the Port Royal Cruise Pier and will be shown different investment options in the corporate area, Montego Bay, and other parts of the island.
The Jamaica Observer’s Joseph Wellington shared clips from the visit in the video below.
