[@dakg8034]

A third international airport was long overdue. People are traveling by air at record levels in recent times. And given that many persons vacation on the north coast, stretching from Negril to Portland, the Sangster's International airport arrivals meant long road travels for those staying outside on Montego Bay. The long-distance road travel between Sangster's Airport and other North coast vacation spots, I am sure, discouraged some travelers from opting for those places. The conversation of the airport in the Boscobel region will change all that and will lead to an increase in tourist visits to those areas.

I do say so myself , definitely a good idea, thanks for watching and commenting, have a great evening
