MINISTER without portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development with responsibility for land titling and settlement Robert Montague says the recently rehabilitated Fontabelle to Geddes Town Road in St Mary demonstrates how tourism revenue is being invested in rural communities across Jamaica.

According to Montague, the $27.5-million project — financed by the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) — is part of efforts to extend tourism beyond traditional resort areas and boost community participation in the sector.

The upgraded roadway enhances access to attractions such as Sun Valley Plantation and Tamarind Great House, where visitors can immerse themselves in authentic Jamaican cultural and heritage experiences.
