We love our local community... all of the culture, traditions, history and especially the people within it. Jamaica is truly a special place, which is why there are over 3 million people who visit each year.
In order to preserve and improve this special place we are always watching for and promoting local activities that have a deeper community initiative while still offering a personal and authentic travel experience to our guests.
There are some travel and tour companies in Jamaica that are expanding their ongoing efforts to give back with initiatives that have been designed to bring transformative benefits to local communities, hospitals and environment.
As a traveller you can contribute to the local community by choosing to support these types of organizations and initiatives. You will have so much fun and you will be making a difference at the same time! Win, win!
