MIAMI – Travelers looking for an exciting and relaxing getaway were attracted to the Jamaican booth showcasing the more than 150 tourist attractions one can experience during an island vacation. This was part of the second annual Recreation and Travel Expo held this weekend (December 13-14) held at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
The two-day exhibition attracted scores of visitors to nearly 100 booths highlighting information for travel ideas including cruise and air travel to worldwide destinations, as well as accommodations and tour attractions.
Hosted by the NBC-Channel 6 Television, the event was intended to promote tourist interests globally.
The Jamaican experience was exhibited jointly by Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) and Air Jamaica Limited with information of the island’s hundreds of attractions for an exciting getaway.
Curious onlookers shared the ‘unique’ Jamaican experience through video-screening highlights at the colorfully decorated booth with travel agents offering island souvenir giveaways.
As visitors are now searching for even more affordable holiday packages, the Jamaican booth seemed attractive with those cost effective all-in-one packages offering both airline and accommodations deals, according to JTB’s account executive, Ms. Ruby Henry.
Air Jamaica and JTB continue to aggressively promote the great prices for the island travel for upcoming New Year travel and vacation activities.
A variety of Jamaican dishes had visitors sampling and craving more as Jamaican chef, Marvelous Marvin, prepared samplings of jerk and curried chicken, fish and rice and peas and other island favorites, sponsored by Jamaican Jerk Festival, USA, Incorporated.
The culinary stage was an added feature – Taste of the World – where international cuisines were prepared as part of the two-day activity to promote tourism.
