Buju's impact
Upcoming concert drives increase in hotel band Airbnb bookings
Janet Silvera, Hospitality Jamaica Coordinator
Kingston hotels are booked solid, and the majority of Airbnb operators in the capital city are reporting brisk reservations for the upcoming Buju Banton Long Walk to Freedom concert weekend.
Checks made with the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel, Altamont Court, and several home-sharing operators show the period March 15 to 18 as fully booked. Hotels such as The Jamaica Pegasus, Knutsford Court, and the Courtleigh still have a few rooms available.
"Following the announcement of the Buju concert, hotel bookings have increased for the weekend of March 15," Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA) area chapter chair Christopher Jarrett told Hospitality Jamaica.
His statements were bolstered by Kimberly Lawson of the Kingston Airbnb group, which has close to 1,000 members.
"It's an amazing opportunity for all Kingston hosts, especially those in close proximity to the venue," Lawson noted, adding that as soon as the March 16 concert date was announced, persons were booking their places and even reselling their packages.
