Port Antonio is often referred to as the cradle of tourism in Jamaica. Tourism started in Port Antonio when the banana king, Lorenzo Baker, brought visitors to the island on the return trip after exporting bananas. Baker’s hotel, Titchfield, erected in 1890 was the first built to cater to overseas tourists. Essentially, it comprised a group of cottages on top hill at some distance from the dining room and kitchen. The ruins are still clearly visible on Titchfield Hill.
