Jamaica a Triple Winner at the 12th Annual World Travel Awards
Jamaica won three of the top coveted awards at the 12th Annual World Travel Awards in London, England on Sunday, Leading Caribbean Airline Trophy, Leading Tourist and Conventions Bureau Trophy and Leading Caribbean Cruise Destination Award. Over 160,000 travel agencies in over 140 countries take part in the worlds most prestigious travel awards each year. This year 2 million persons voted online for best travel destination, best airlines and best hotel out of 3500 nominee’s worldwide.
Individual awards also went to Round Hill Hotel for the Caribbean’s leading villa hotel and Jamaica’s leading spa, Half Moon Montego Bay won the Caribbean’s and Jamaica’s leading golf resort, Sandals Royal Plantation, Ochi Rios won Jamaica’s leading resort and Beaches Negril won the Caribbean’s leading family all-inclusive hotel.
Follow up:
‘Way to go Jamaica’, if over 2 million people says we are the best then it must be so. Tourism is a major ‘bread and butter’ industry for us. With most of our other main income earners banana, sugar and bauxite in trouble it’s good to know that there is still hope for our country.
Despite all the negatives that we have been experiencing tourist are still coming to our island and having a great time when they get here. That means most of us must be doing something right. Tourism after all is dependent not on a few but an entire nation. What ever line of work you do it affects tourism directly or indirectly.
After a ‘rough’ summer due to the busy hurricane season we all look forward to a good winter season. Hopefully these awards will bring us more business as everybody wants the best. It’s up to all Jamaicans to ensure that we not only maintain but improve on our tourism product.
Nuff Love

Sister Mary Margaret
SISTER MARGARET MARY, WHO WORKS FOR A LOCAL HOME HEALTH AGENCY WAS OUT MAKING HER ROUNDS WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS.
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT A GAS STATION WAS JUST A BLOCK AWAY.
SHE WALKED TO THE STATION TO BORROW A CAN OF GAS TO START & THEN DRIVE TO THE STATION FOR A FILL UP.
THE ATTENDANT REGRETFULLY TOLD HER THE ONLY GAS CAN HE OWNED HAD BEEN LOANED OUT BUT IF SHE WOULD WAIT, IT WAS SURE TO BE BACK SHORTLY.
SINCE THE NUN ! WAS ON THE WAY TO SEE A PATIENT SHE DECIDED NOT TO WAIT & SHE WALKED BACK TO THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO FILL WITH GAS, SHE SPOTTED A BEDPAN SHE WAS TAKING TO THE PATIENT.
ALWAYS RESOURCEFUL, SHE CARRIED IT TO THE STATION & FILLED IT WITH GASOLINE, & CARRIED IT TO HER CAR.
AS SHE WAS POURING THE GAS INTO THE TANK, TWO MEN WERE WATCHING FROM ACROSS THE STREET. ONE OF THEM TURNED TO THE OTHER & SAID, "IF IT STARTS, I'M TURNING CATHOLIC".
