This one is easy to solve
The quote is (nearly 500 pax arrived), so times this number per flight times by 2 flights per week = 1000 times by 52 weeks = 52,000 then double this up for the return flights and you get 104,000. This gives a total max pax movement in to and out of the island. The article I think is referring to this figure and has misquoted it as being the maximum new visitor arrival figure.

I suppose the paper was partially correct. There could be 104,000 new visitors to Jamaica Airport as most passangers will do an arrival and departure cycle. So a small part of Jamaica will see over 100,00 new visitors[^][:o)];)
