50 places up for grabs on Jamaica fam
Jamaica is increasing the number of UK travel agents hosted on fam trips this year to boost visitor numbers.
It is offering up to 50 places on trips taking place during from April to June and September to October.
The fam trips are part of Jamaica Tourist Board’s ‘Sell It & See It’ trade campaign.
To participate, agents need to make a booking to Jamaica then log on to jamaicarewards.co.uk and register for a chance to win a place as part of a prize draw.
The first winners will be announced in~March~and the other winners revealed throughout the year.
The JTB will also be hosting several agent training events throughout 2019 in the UK. Agents can access these sessions via jamaicarewards.co.uk, face-to-face at regional events with key partners, and at the~Jamaica~Travel Market, the destination’s business-to-business tradeshow.
More information can be found through the online portal.
JTB district sales manager Torrance Lewis said: "Supporting our valued travel agent partners throughout 2019 is a huge priority for us as a destination. This is one sure way to spread the word on what~Jamaica~has to offer UK holidaymakers, through empowering our agents."
