SENSITIZED
ON WARM WELCOME
I N I T I A T I V E
A meeting was convened at TPDCo Ocho Rios with a member of the creators of the Warm Welcome
Initiative, Carol Purvil – Williams of Travel Foundation Jamaica. The purpose of the meeting was to
sensitize participants on the Warm Welcome initiative that will form a key part of the Travel
Foundations’ programme of work in Ocho Rios and Port Antonio to motivate and inspire tourists
to leave their hotels and explore the resort environs.
The session was also conducted to develop the capacity of TPDCo.’s Product Quality and Training
and Product Development staff to conduct research with the local people in the resort areas of
Port Antonio and Ocho Rios, and collate local ‘insider’ recommendations of the best things to
do and see in and around each resort area
