16. Result of focus group in China January 2009: Since the Olympic Games in Beijing, Jamaica is known as the home of good athletes, but is located in Africa or the Pacific. Nobody knows anybody who has ever been there. So Jamaica is mostly a “clean sheet of paper” on which an image can be created.
17. Neighbour countries cooperation Using the recently Jamaica – Cuba signed Memorandum of Understanding on tourism cooperation. Jamaica as the entrance to the Caribbean region. A further combination with other Caribbean islands or Mexico will also be beneficial for the island.
18. Product Adaptation If Chinese speak a foreign language, it is English. Emphasize that Jamaica, as part of the Anglophone Caribbean, is an English speaking country. Highlight that Jamaica is beautiful, high-class, but not extremely expensive, but certainly not cheap Affordable luxury Chinese must know how friendly the Jamaicans are, good relations with the Chinese community in the island and with the People’s Republic of China.

Fairs, FAM Tours Jamaica participated in World Travel Fair 2008 in Shanghai CITM 2007 COTTM Beijing 2008 For a little-known destination like Jamaica, inviting journalists from China is an important step to raise awareness and shape the brand perception. Fair participation is mainly for brand building, not for immediate business
