The Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) has applauded travel agencies who were recently awarded by Playa Hotels & Resorts for their 2023 sales performance. Travel agencies play a crucial role in the travel and tourism industry by serving as a connection between travellers and travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels, and tour operators. They help to promote and sell the destination to their clients.
“Tourism does not operate in a vacuum and requires many resources to operate. Our travel agencies are valuable to the industry and help us to achieve our record number of arrivals each year. They have expertise and knowledge of the destination, they provide tailored experiences, accommodate special requests and importantly build relationships and trust with potential visitors. We are grateful for their contribution to the industry and the country’s growth and development,” expressed Director of Tourism, Donovan White.
