This is due in no small part to Jamaica’s breathtaking beauty, heart thumping adventure offerings, laid-back resort atmosphere, and wide variety of special events and attractions that cater to all types of travelers looking for more than a day at the beach. Jamaica was also recognized in this category for 2007.
“Jamaica’s continued presence on travel industry “hot” lists is a testament to the destination’s wide appeal,” said Minister of Tourism, the Honourable Edmund Bartlett. “In fact, preliminary figures for stopover arrivals this year indicate that Jamaica is 10 percent ahead of 2007 figures for the period January thru the first two weeks of February.” Jamaica’s appeal as a summer getaway is due to her diversity of offerings for families, couples, friends, children, nature lovers and adventure seekers. There is something for everyone, including romantic couples-only resorts, gorgeous wedding spots, exciting water parks, pulsating music festivals, superb championship golf courses, therapeutic spas and much more.
