In a move, it said, is designed to honour the medical teams who have been working on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA) has announced that it is providing free hotel stays for local health care professionals.
The tourism sector is set to begin receiving guests today after a three-month closure as a result of the pandemic.
“While the hospitality and tourism industry has been severely affected by the pandemic, we want to ensure we say thank you appropriately to the people who have selflessly been risking their own health for the country,” said Robinson.
In preparation for the reopening of the tourism industry, we have implemented all the required protocols to provide as safe an environment as possible for all of our employees and all of our guests and we look forward to hosting our medical professionals,” the JHTA head said.
“I want to record my appreciation to the JHTA and the hotel stakeholders who have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in a most admirable way.
