The boost in arrivals can also be contributed to the election season.

Scores of Jamaicans have arrived in the country ahead of the September 3 general elections.

Several posts on social media platforms, X and TikTok, show Jamaicans from the diaspora arriving at the local airports, dressed in their party colours.
