Jamaica Tourism Minister of tourism said that the multi-destination scheme allows a broadening of the tourist offer in the region, but even more, it will increase the air connectivity between both countries. A tourist multi-destination is a unique trip that includes visits to more than one destination. In this way the arrival of visitors that otherwise would not have reached the two sites is enhanced. Bartlett noted that Panama is becoming an air hub with long-haul flights, arriving from Asia, Europe, and Turkey. Currently, Copa Airlines offers more than 11 weekly flights between Panama and Jamaica. The Jamaica minister and Iván Eskildsen, administrator of the Tourism Authority of Panama, will sign the agreement during the International Tourism Fair in Madrid, Spain, in January. https://www.newsroompanama.com/travel/panama-and-jamaica-plan-multi-destination-accord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 This is definitely aimed at foreign markets. Can't see much reciprocal travel between the two countries. Jamaicans need a Visa to travel to, or even through, Panama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
