MONTEGO BAY, St James — Jamaica is among the top 10 destinations that well-heeled travellers are now booking for their holidays, according to a Virtuoso survey published in CNBC 's Personal Finance section earlier this week.
“We are happy to see that Jamaica is still top of mind for many persons around the world who want to travel,” senior communications strategist in the Ministry of Tourism Delano Seiveright told the Jamaica Observer.
“We are happy that many well-off Americans, as the survey pointed out, basically wealthier, affluent Americans are very keen on travelling to Jamaica, and Jamaica made it in the top 10 of destinations that they want to travel to,” added Seiveright.
“So we see some very bright sparks on the horizon and we are looking forward to Jamaica re-entering the tourism frame, albeit cautiously,” Seiveright said.
He said the Ministry of Tourism has put forward a five-point recovery strategy that takes into full consideration public health matters and a standard approach to reopening Jamaica as a visitor destination.
