MONTEGO BAY, St James - Montego Bay will enjoy an economic boom that will see thousands of people, including investors, flocking to the north coast city that will become known as the "pearl of Jamaica", the Rev Phillip Phinn predicted last weekend.
PHINN. says thousands of jobs will become available in MoBay
Phinn, who a few years ago prophesied that Portia Simpson Miller would become Jamaica's prime minister, also told the first Western Prophetic Conference at the Meeting Place on Howard Cooke Boulevard in this city that the US dollar will become as popular as the local currency and thousands of jobs will become available, attracting people from all over the island and from other countries to Montego Bay in search of employment.
The conference was held Thursday through Saturday and Phinn said the increase in opportunities will lead to a sharp decline in crime.
The influx of people, he said, will be so large that the smaller domestic terminal at the Sangster International Airport will have to be expanded to facilitate the additional traffic that will be coming through there.
He first made the pronouncements at Thursday's opening session and repeated them at the closing session Saturday. He told the packed auditorium that he had lunch with a prominent businessman on Friday and that most of what he had seen were actually being discussed.
Real estate prices, he predicted, will go through the roof as all the prime locations will be gobbled up by investors and others moving into Montego Bay.
He said that tourism would take off and within eight years other countries in the world will be studying Jamaica's tourism model because of its success.
Phinn said he had long ago declared that a university would be built in western Jamaica. Earlier this year, former Prime Minister P J Patterson had announced the setting up of a university in the region.
