Navarra said, “the important thing to remember is that people have high expectations and it's all about delivering on those high expectations because if you got a big gap between that marquee value and what our guests are seeing at the end of the day that's when you get the disappointment and the reduced demand for what is the Jamaican product.
Paige has branded Jamaica as “a jewel” and the ports of Ocho Rios, Falmouth and Montego Bay as among the “best in the world”, while commending initiatives being employed locally to make visitors happy with the experiences available to them on land.
He then outlined the change from Resort Boards to Destination Assurance Councils and the appointment of Destination Managers, starting with Falmouth and the allocation of $1 billion to provide a safe and enjoyable environment.
