The Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) celebrated its top-producing travel specialists during the 10th annual One Love Affair, a three-day recognition event held recently at the newly opened Princess Grand Jamaica and Princess Senses The Mangrove in Green Island, Hanover.
The exclusive event honoured the top 50 elite travel advisors from key markets including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and Central Europe.
"We are witnessing unprecedented growth in Jamaica's tourism sector, with our travel specialists playing a pivotal role in our success," Bartlett said. "These dedicated professionals have helped Jamaica maintain its position as a leading Caribbean destination, even in the face of various challenges throughout 2024."
“The One Love Affair exemplifies our commitment to the travel specialist community who serve as Jamaica's passionate ambassadors worldwide," said Donovan White, Director of Tourism.
"Their dedication has been instrumental in our robust tourism recovery and growth. The selection of the new Princess properties for this year's event underscores our focus on sustainable luxury tourism development, which will define Jamaica's tourism future.”
Tourism continues to be a vital component of Jamaica's economy, representing 30 per cent of the country's GDP and employing indirectly more than 350,000 people. With a strong winter season on the horizon, the destination anticipates further growth in 2025.
