00:09I'm with Jaron who is from from the Jamaica tourist board

00:12Did we had a chance yesterday to experience a little bit of what this amazing island has to offer?

00:17We got to go to Jam West and I personally did the ATV

00:20But there was so many other things that you could do while you were there

00:23You could do horseback riding you could do zip lining and that's just a little taste of what you all have to offer on this

00:28Island, can you talk to me about that? Certainly and it's a pleasure to have you here in Jamaica. Cool

00:33You see Jam West is one of those. It's a location that offers like you said a multiple

00:38Lots of things to do certainly

00:41It's it's kind of like a subset of the destination if you will

00:44Because Jamaica has so much to offer you think about the fact that we have six distinct resort areas

00:50And every everything changes each time you move from one to the next. Yeah, so right now we're on the south coast

00:56We're at Sandals sexy White Coast White House

00:59and what you'll find is that as you move through the resort areas the energy changes the atmosphere changes the

01:08Beaches change because we do have black and white sand beaches

01:11but what remains the same is the fact that you will experience the cultural energy through the people the vibe that type of

01:18Natural warm hospitality is something that will come out in all your experiences and certainly if you're looking for adventure

01:25We have it. You're looking for beaches. We have it natural beauty. We have that and Jamaica is a destination of experience

01:32It's a destination of feelings. So once you hear you start to understand why people keep coming back. We have a very high

01:39repeat clientele

01:41And so you understand that there is something here for everyone

01:45But there's also always a reason to return to Jamaica

01:48And so that's one of our key selling points and if we were if we were to identify the main

01:54Selling point of Jamaica it would definitely be the people because that's what sets this destination apart from any other you would find

02:01You know across the world

02:03Talk to me about some of the other experiences that you can have when you come to whether it's here at Sandals South Coast or

02:08It's Dunn's River. It's Montego Bay. Talk to me about some of some of the other things that you can experience while in Jamaica

02:14Okay, so we have our highest point which goes

02:18Seven thousand four hundred and two feet above sea level

02:20That's the Blue Mountain Peak so that coffee that I'm sure you've been having since you've been here

02:26That is the only place in the world that it is grown. But then once you leave that

02:31Mounting experience where you're enjoying the sunrise. You can also do the opposite and enjoy the sunset in the grill

02:38There's Rick's Cafe. And of course, like I said the seven-mile beach

02:43Jamaica is the land of wood and water. We have over a hundred and twenty three rivers

02:48And several waterfalls dozens of waterfalls

02:52so in every resort area that you that you visit you will have the experience where you can you can feel the energy of the

03:00geographical aspects of the country through the lush destination

03:05Features the beaches the waterfalls the rivers the caves we have hot and cold Springs

03:10I'm not sure if you know this but in Falmouth we have

03:14Luminous Lagoon, which is just one of maybe a couple across the world

03:18So at nighttime, you can have that unique experience where the the water actually glows around Wow

03:24Similarly, we have caves that go to subterranean lakes

03:28We have a heritage experience where I mean, you've you've heard of Bob Marley. Yes

03:34I have several of those experiences in certain parts of the destination where you can get the history

03:40You can get the the understanding of you know, who he was and really feel that energy

03:46music

03:47Culture food. I mean we could spend an entire afternoon talking about the food

03:53Jamaica has some of the some of some of some of the the flavors that just seem to leave a lasting

03:58Impression and one of the things to note is that or motto out of many one people

04:04Indicates that you have what we have is a melting pot of cultural

04:08backgrounds and histories and

04:10Ethnicities and so that comes out in what you see as tourism in Jamaica

04:16You're getting the heart of persons that are coming from

04:20history all across the world in one melting pot and so

04:24It's it's definitely a destination an island of feeling and that is what you get

04:28Once you you get to the airport you start

04:31Hearing the stories you start seeing the Jamaicans dancing and it's certainly just an energy that just transcends

04:38So there's something for everyone when you come to Jamaica whether you want to be adventurous and go crazy

04:42Or you want to just relax on the beach?

04:44You can do it here. How does someone find out about what you can do?

04:48Do they talk to their sandals representative is their website?
