The world-famous Lover’s Leap attraction in St. Elizabeth, which was closed for almost two years, has been reopened.
Minister of Tourism and Entertainment, Dr. Wykeham McNeil, said the facility is again accommodating visitors even while refurbishing activities are taking place.
McNeill said Lover’s Leap is now open to the general public and that there is still work to be done so that this attraction can achieve its full potential.
He noted that the attraction, while providing employment for a number of young people in Treasure Beach and surrounding communities, also adds to the tourism offerings in the area.
McNeill said after a visit to the facility in January, where he met with stakeholders, he immediately put plans in place to have it reopened.
The Tourism Minister stated that the south coast has great potential especially in the area of community tourism, “where visitors to the islandcan walk around and see and feel what is really important in Jamaica”.
He said that areas of the sector that can be expanded and improved on to enhance the tourism product will also be looked at.
Lover’s Leap was closed after the previous operator, which leased the property from the Tourism Product Development Company suddenly decided to end the lease arrangement.
