CALABASH 2018 A SUCCESS

NOT ONLY did Calabash 2018 succeed in its mandate of ‘lighting up’ the spoken and written words, but the literary arts festival’s purpose of boosting community tourism was achieved two weekends ago in

Treasure Beach, St Elizabeth.

Opening avenues for economic benefit for local small entrepreneurs who offer a unique, educational and authentic Jamaican experience was made one of the promises and this was evident as residents and owners in Treasure Beach celebrated the biennial event. Hospitality Jamaica

brings you highlights of the literary lovers who invaded the peaceful southern community, spending on hotel rooms, food, transportation, and attractions and contributing to many persons being employed temporarily.
