WITH the recent success of the September 30-October 1 Soca + Festival, players in the entertainment fraternity believe Jamaica can be developed into a destination for similar events.
Currently, Jamaica hosts three major festivals – Reggae Sumfest, Rebel Salute and Dream Weekend. All are held in rural tourist areas in Montego Bay, Plantation Cove and Negril, respectively.
Ron Burke of Dream Entertainment, promoters of Dream Weekend, sees even greater potential.
"Dream Weekend, for example, is going into its 15th year, and the bulk of those persons who attend every year are from all over the world. Whether we want to say we are or not a destination, we are pretty much in that space — and Dream has been one of those festivals that's global that has contributed to that," he opined in an interview with the Jamaica Observer.
