Ua kapa ʻia ka inoa o ka NCC he 13 mau lālā i kēia manawa e ke Kuhina Kaʻahele, Hon. Edmund Bartlett ma ka Hilton Rose Hall Beach Resort and Spa.

Ua alakaʻi ʻia e Michael Belnavis, e hōʻike ana ka ʻaha holo moku i kahi hui ma waena o nā pono pilikino a me ka lehulehu.

ʻO nā lālā ʻē aʻe: Harry Maragh, Luna Nui o Lannaman a me Morris (Shipping) Ltd.; ʻO Marilyn Burrowes, Pelekikena, Dolphin Cove; Judy Shoenbein, no Braemar Tours; John Byles, Luna Nui, Chukka Caribbean; ʻO Michael Drakulich, no Mystic Mountain Rain Forest/Mystic Ridge Hotel; Stephen Facey, Lunahoomalu & Luna Nui, Pan-Jamaican Investment Trust Ltd.; ʻO William Tatham, Hope Pelekikena, Port Authority o Jamaica.

I ka wehewehe ʻana i ke kumu o ka ʻaha kūkā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kuhina Bartlett ua lilo ka ʻoihana holo moku i ka ʻāpana ulu wikiwiki loa i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi a puni ka honua. Ua like ka ʻike o Jamaica me ka piʻi ʻana o ka poʻe holo moku holo moku e 23.5% no ka mahina o Iune, e lawe mai ana i 110,086 mau kaʻa mai 25 mau moku holo moku.

ʻO ka mea nui, ʻo Iune ʻaʻole ia he mahina maikaʻi no ka moku holo moku i Jamaica a mai ka wehe ʻana o ka Falmouth Pier ma 2010, e huki ana i nā mega liners, "he mea kupaianaha ka ulu ʻana."

Eia nō naʻe, wahi a Kuhina Bartlett, "ʻo ka mea i ulu ʻole ʻo ia ka hoʻolilo, ʻoiai ua neʻe iki" mai US $74 no kēlā me kēia mokulele a i US $87. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i ka US $ 100, e hoʻonui mālie i ka US $ 200 i kēlā me kēia kanaka ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i nā makahiki ʻelima e hiki mai ana.

ʻO nā kuleana o ka National Cruise Council e pili ana i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka ʻoihana moku holo moku ma Jamaica, ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻano moku holo moku holo moana a me ka mālama pono ʻana i nā pilina me nā laina moku holo moana a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike o ka mea holo moku moku.

Eia hou, e hana ka ʻaha kūkā i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e hiki ai i ka ʻoihana moku holo moku o Jamaica ke hoʻokomo i nā loina o ka mākaʻikaʻi hoʻomau no ka hoʻomohala ʻana ma o nā kulekele kūpono, a no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻike ma uka o nā poʻe holo moku.

Ma kāna ʻōlelo mua ma ke ʻano he luna hoʻomalu, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Belnavis ua ʻike ʻo ia he mea nui ka ʻoihana moku holo moku i ka ulu ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai aupuni a hōʻike i kāna kūpaʻa e kōkua i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi holo moana.
