For the months of July and August the Jamaica Tourist Board hosted the Experience Jamaica Summer Promotion, a programme set to inspire Jamaican residents to explore the Incredible Vacation Values at Home. Experience Jamaica, an annual programme of the JTB, began in 2008 and is generally run for the period of July to December.
With partners providing values of 5-50% below regular rates specifically for Jamaican residents, Experience Jamaica encourages Jamaicans to expand their knowledge of the tourism offerings of their country. Over 600 entries from across the island came in for the Experience Jamaica Summer Promotion, 627 to be exact, all hoping for a chance to win prizes sponsored by Chukka Caribbean Adventure Tours, Dolphin Cove, YS Falls and RIU Hotel, Ocho Rios.
The four lucky winners drawn at random were awarded their prizes this past Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at the Jamaica Tourist Board head office in Kingston. Congratulations to Tristessa Branche who won the First Prize of a weekend stay for 3-days/ 2-nights for a family of four at RIU Ocho Rios. Ms. Mavalyn Cole took the second prize: a gift certificate for Activity at Chukka Caribbean Adventures. Third prize went to Veneta Creary, who with a family of four can enjoy the Dolphin Touch Activity at Dolphin Cove, Ocho Rios.
Ms. Deidre Spence won the Fourth Prize and will travel to St. Elizabeth to use her gift certificate for activity at YS Falls along with a family of four. Congratulations to all our winners and we look forward to even more entries next year, with more Jamaicans excited to spend a ‘staycation’ at home in paradise.
