Jamaica scores Top Destination Recognition In 2012 Travalliance Leisure Travel Leaders Awards
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaica continues to receive noteworthy accolades, emphasizing the island’s standing as a leading vacation destination. Jamaica was recently voted “Top Travel Destination” in the 2012 Leisure Travel Leaders Awards hosted by travAlliancemedia, a prominent travel trade media group. The survey encouraged travel agents to vote for their top suppliers and destinations in multiple categories and incorporated a sampling of readers from travAlliancemedia industry-leading publications, including Agent@Home, Vacation Agent, and Travelpulse.com.
“The unyielding efforts of our travel agents lend greatly to the success of our destination,” said John Lynch, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “We’re honoured that agents have chosen Jamaica as the top travel destination. We plan to continue to offer incentives such as Jamaica’s One Love Rewards Program to engage them as we look to increase awareness on all that the island has to offer.”
“Jamaica has long supported the travel agency trade with its marketing and training programs, so we were not surprised our readers selected the destination as having the top tourism office in the Caribbean region,” said James Shillinglaw, editor in chief and editorial director for travAlliancemedia, which publishes TravelPulse.com, Agent@Home magazine and Vacation Agent magazine. “Our travel agent readers voted for Jamaica among all Caribbean destinations. And since our readership base with our three publications is the largest of any trade group, we believe this is indicative of just how important Jamaica is regarded in the trade.”
