So two summers ago I traveled to Panama and then to Columbia on the same plane ticket. I did the same thing four summers ago traveling to Dubai and then to Thailand. This agreement can be the game changer. Gwaan Bartlett!!!!
Jamaica has signed a multi-destination marketing and airlift agreement with the Republic of Panama, bringing this type of arrangement to five countries in the North-Western Caribbean.
Speaking with The Gleaner from Fitur, the international tourism trade fair, in Spain on Friday, Jamaica’s Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett, described the signing as a convergence that will create access to a market of over 60 million travellers and will be attractive to large tour operators, airlines and cruise lines.
“Jamaica will benefit greatly from this arrangement, which has the potential to increase our tourist arrivals exponentially,” he stated.
Jamaica has previously signed similar agreements with Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
Agreements of this type are usually done to advance regional integration by fostering and harmonising legislation on air connectivity, visa facilitation, product development, marketing and human capital development.
The partnership with Panama, Bartlett said, will create a mega-market that will be able to attract the big airlines, “but more importantly, we will be able to entice the new emerging markets of the far distances of Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. These distant markets will be able to come into the Caribbean area and enjoy many of the experiences at a packaged deal”.
