Raise your hand if you miss traveling. You’re not alone. It’s been almost a year since recreational travel ended abruptly leaving many to daydream about their next destination or reminisce about a past trip. The Jamaica Tourist Board feels your pain and is launching a campaign to help everyone missing their shores commiserate together.
To participate, post a photo of your favorite memory from a trip to the island along with a caption that includes the hashtag #MissingMyJamaica.
The prize is a trip for two to Jamaica that includes round-trip airfare and a three-night all-inclusive stay at the Royalton Negril Resort & Spa. To qualify for the sweepstakes, posters’ profiles must be public and an accompanying entry form must be completed.
Celebrities like singer/songwriter Sean Kingston and rapper Kardinal Offishall have already gotten the trip down memory lane started with their own posts.
“We have been confined at home for a long time and many of us are missing the little things about traveling that leave us with indelible memories,” said Donovan White, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “Whether it was an early morning walk along Negril’s Seven Mile Beach with the sound of crashing waves, or the smell of jerk chicken charring over pimento wood that made your mouth water, or the feeling of elation the first time you conquered Dunn’s River Falls, #MissingMyJamaica invites our followers to reminisce about the good times they had on island. It is a reminder that when our followers are ready to travel again, Jamaica will be ready to welcome them.”
Entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, February 15, 2021. The contest is open to legal residents of the 48 Contiguous United States (including DC) and Canada (excluding Quebec).
