 As Mayor of
the City of Montego Bay, I would like to
welcome you to our Website and hope that you will find it both
informative and helpful.
Our City is in the process of undergoing change
and development and we ask that your bear with us during these
challenging times. As a new administration, we pledge to our
citizens, whom we are proud to represent, that we will not shirk
from our responsibility to deliver quality services in a
professional manner. The St. James Parish Council is here to serve
you!
For our friends outside of Jamaica, I invite
you to visit Montego Bay, the tourism capital of Jamaica, known
otherwise as the 'Friendly City'. We wish to share with you the fact
that reggae music, the heartbeat of our country, is at its best in
July of each year, when we host here in Montego Bay, the largest and
best reggae music festival in the world, REGGAE SUMFEST, drawing
thousands of reggae fans from all over the world. Visit the REGGAE
SUMFEST website at www.reggaesumfest.com.
The Institute of Jamaica, which was founded in
1945, is the repository of our rich cultural heritage and has
responsibility for the Museum of Montego Bay located at the Civic
Centre in the heart of our city at the historic Sam Sharpe Square.
There you may view historical records and artifacts. The Institute
from time to time will be hosting various events, showcasing our
rich heritage in the arts. We are very excited about the presence of
the Institute in Montego Bay and invite you to call (876) 971-9417,
or visit their website at www.instituteofjamaica.org.jm/museums/mobay.htm.
As Montegonians, we have become increasingly
aware of the critical need to protect and nurture the environment
and actively encourage our children and adults to become involved in
this process. The Montego Bay Marine Park is a vital and central
figure in the drive to promote environmental awareness and you may
learn more about their activities and lend support to this
worthwhile cause by visiting their website at http://www.montego-bay-jamaica.com.
The promotion of investments and the
development of a sound economic base for our citizens is central to
our overall strategy to improve the quality of life of our citizens.
We, therefore, invite those of you who may have an interest in
investing in Montego Bay to contact our local Chamber of Commerce by
visiting their website at www.montegobaychamber.org
Montego Bay embraces a wide diversity of
perspectives and once you have visited us you will experience the
fact that we truly live up to our national motto 'Out of Many One
People'. I invite you to call Air Jamaica @1-800-AIR JAMAICA, visit
their website at www.airjamaica.com
or contact the JAMAICA TOURIST BOARD at www.visitjamaica.com.
Hop on a flight and come down to Montego Bay.
We look forward to seeing you!
Regards,
Noel W. Donaldson
Mayor
