LONDON, UK – Jamaica’s Director of Tourism, Paul Pennicook; and Minister of Tourism, Hon. Dr. Wykeham McNeill MP, recently met with Garry Wilson, MD Product and Purchasing at TUI UK; Phil Iveson, Head of Purchasing Long Haul & Rest of World at TUI UK; Antonia Bouka, General Manager for Tourist Boards and Hotel Partnerships at TUI UK at World Travel Market in London to confirm Montego Bay as the home port again for UK cruise ship Thomson Dream in 2015.
This year has been extremely successful for the partnership between Jamaica and TUI UK & Ireland. In early 2014, Thomson opened its first Sensatori Resort in the Caribbean outside Mexico, Sensatori Resort Jamaica, in Negril. TUI UK & Ireland also increased air service into Jamaica from several UK regional airports, and the success of cruise sales throughout the last twelve months has had a direct bearing on Thomson Dream making Montego Bay its home port yet again. World Travel Market 2014, the leading global event for the travel industry, was held from November 3-6.
