ulture-rich Jamaica is hitting its stride, recently


claiming the top spot for British travellers to the Caribbean after posting a 14% year-on-year rise in arrivals in the first half of last year. With rum distilleries, waterfalls, paradisiacal sandy beaches and fascinating museums, Jamaica can cater to many types of traveller – with varied price points to match. Whether your clients are looking for a simple fly-and-flop on a budget – taking advantage of activities from watersports to reggae-inspired entertainment – or are keen to splash out on a luxury holiday while enjoying Rastafari Ital dishes and venturing into the island’s interior, there’s a resort to suit every desire. A bonus for home-based agents is that this year, the Jamaica


Tourist Board’s nine fam trips will include some specifically targeted at homeworkers. Sold on Jamaica? Now sell it to clients no matter what budget they have to spend.


SAVE: SHOESTRING STAYS For travellers on a budget, there are plenty of good-value all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica. The Royal Decameron Club, which opened near Runaway Bay in 1970, features 175 original round cottages. Each offers a high degree of privacy and can accommodate up to two adults and two children (with extra beds).
