MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – Jamaica’s Chukka Caribbean Adventures, the region’s number one nature-adventure tour provider, is the winner of the prestigious 2007 World Travel Award as the “Caribbean’s Leading Nature Adventure Excursion Operator.”
The World Travel Awards, called the “Travel industry’s equivalent to the Oscars” by the Wall Street Journal, are the most comprehensive and prestigious awards program in global travel industry today.
“This is an incredible honor for Chukka Caribbean Adventures as we head into our 25th anniversary year,” says John Byles, co-managing director. “At Chukka we always take our lead from nature and develop our tours with sustainable tourism in mind; it’s wonderful to be acknowledged by our travel partners for that effort. We also see this win as an opportunity for Jamaica to put itself forward as a leading nature adventure destination. As Jamaicans we know what a beautiful country we live in — we are lucky enough to be able to experience her natural wonders from the beaches to Cockpit Country everyday — and we’d like the rest of the world to know it too. It is a privilege for Chukka Caribbean Adventures to now share the stage with the other World Travel Award winners that have made Brand Jamaica one of the top tourism products in the world. Congratulations to all of Jamaica’s winners.”
As a regional winner Chukka Caribbean Adventures will automatically be entered into the World competition, and winners will be announced at the Annual World Travel Awards Gala Ceremony in Turks & Caicos, December 12, 2007.
