About the JTB

The Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), founded in 1955, is Jamaica's national tourism agency based in the capital city of Kingston. The JTB was declared the Caribbean's Leading Tourist and Convention Bureau by the World Travel Awards (WTA) for 2006 and 2007, while Jamaica earned the WTA's vote as the World's Leading Cruise Destination, the Caribbean's Leading Destination and the Caribbean's Leading Cruise Destination.

Canadian travel agents put JTB on top for third consecutive year

Canadian travel agents have once again voted the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) as the Favourite Tourist Board in Canadian Travel Press and Travel Courier's annual Agents' Choice Awards, in an issue distributed earlier this week.

Jamaica also climbed to number two in the category of Favourite Honeymoon Destination, coming narrowly behind traditional honeymoon destination, Hawaii. Jamaica was the overwhelming favourite honeymoon destination with Quebec travel agents, scoring well above French Polynesia and Hawaii.

"I'd like to commend the Jamaica Tourist Board's Canadian office for all their hard work in attaining this prestigious achievement for the third consecutive year," said Basil Smith, Jamaica's Director of Tourism. "On behalf of the JTB, I'd like to thank the Canadian agents for their confidence in Destination Jamaica and their continued support in a positive partnership."

readership survey

More than 3,500 travel agents across Canada voted in a readership survey which was conducted between February and March. This survey is considered the largest sampling of travel agents' opinions in Canada and consists of 22 categories, surveying agents on both Canadian and international destinations.

"The Jamaica Tourist Board's Canadian office is overwhelmed that agents have chosen us three years a row as their favourite tourist board," said Sandra Scott, regional director, Jamaica Tourist Board, Canada. "On a daily basis, the staff of the Jamaica Tourist Board strives to provide assistance to every travel agent across Canada and this is a great indication that we are accomplishing our goals."

The results of the survey were published in a special awards magazine from Canadian Travel Press and Travel Courier. More than 25,000 subscribers will receive hard copies while more than 5,000 subscribers will receive the publication digitally.
