Antigua St. John’s – Jolly Beach Resort & Spa continues its string of travel agent familiarisation trips by welcoming a group of 10 top agents from Trinidad.

From June 22 to 24, the agents experienced friendly Antiguan hospitality and the wonderful beach and amenities at the resort that they have heard so much about from their vacationing clients.

Jolly Beach Resort & Spa spearheaded the visit in conjunction with Trinidadian tour operator The Travel Centre, and bringing LIAT onboard for special air fares.

The group enjoyed a real taste of Antigua with the Ministry of Tourism providing airport transfers and an island tour that included visits to Stingray City, and an Island Safari that took in Falmouth Harbour and the southern vistas, a release from the resort said.

After arriving at the resort, the travel agents who represented The Travel Centre, Jovizna Tours, Karmoon Hosein Yaron Tours & Travel, Nancy’s Travel & Tours, Kam’s Travel & Tours, Gee Geez Travel and Royale Tours & Travel attended a Destination Presentation given by the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority (AHTA).

They were also the special guests at a welcome cocktail party and dinner hosted by Jolly Beach Resort & Spa General Manager, Vernon A. Jeffers. Present at that event were AHTA representative Anthea Watkins and Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority’s (ABTA’s) Charmaine Spencer.

“The tour operators and travel agents in Trinidad have really become strong partners for us. We’ve been building these relationships steadily over the years,” said Caribbean Sales Representative for Jolly Beach Resort & Spa Andrea Jeremiah.

“Being able to travel to Trinidad ourselves and meet in person to find out what their clients are looking for has really helped to increase this market for Jolly Beach Resort & Spa. All of the participating agents have been selling the resort with great success but this is their first visit.”

Meanwhile, Ian Vire, who represented The Travel Centre had this to say about the visit: “The Jolly Beach Resort & Spa experience is great all-inclusive value for money, with a friendly and courteous staff at all levels. You can go with friends, family or just that special someone and you’ll be sure to have a wonderfully relaxing and possibly fattening holiday. And Antigua is so much more than sun, sea, sand and sensational sunsets. There’s sightseeing swimming with stingrays, sailing, shopping in St. John’s not forgetting the friendliness of the people, and 365 beaches. I will definitely be back to explore more of them.”
