ST JAMES, Jamaica – Jamaica-based Island Routes Caribbean Adventures has been acknowledged as the World’s Leading Caribbean Attraction Company for the fifth time at the 22nd annual World Travel Awards.

The award comes approximately two months after the company was named the Caribbean’s Leading Adventure Tour Operator and less than a week after it made its one millionth booking.

The company started in 2009 when the CEO, Adam Stewart, saw a gap in the market for providing authentic tours and quality experiences to tourists in Jamaica.

Island Routes is now selling more than 500 tours in 11 Caribbean islands including, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Turks & Caicos, Dominican Republic, Aruba, and St Maarten, and is will soon commence sales operations in new destinations, including Mexico.

“We can’t believe it! To be acknowledged as the World’s Leading Caribbean Attraction Company for the fifth year in a row is truly incredible,” Stewart said. “This award demonstrates the commitment of our teams and partners to setting the industry standard through first-class services.

“We work tirelessly to ensure we’re giving customers what they want, whilst making sure their experience with Island Routes is the best adventure of their lives. Whether you’re a solo traveller wanting to get off the beaten path, a family seeking a fun catamaran adventure or an incentive travel group looking for seamless destination management services, we’re proud to offer the best the region has to offer,” the CEO said.

Island Routes provides exclusive tour desk management services across the Caribbean for Sandals, Beaches and Grand Pineapple Resorts, and the Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall, Jamaica. The company offers full destination management services with SITE accredited professionals, handling all aspects of meetings, incentives and business groups and also provides ground-handling services in Jamaica for Air Canada Vacations and BookIt.com.

With owned and operated assets including the Caribbean’s newest and most luxurious fleet of catamarans and sport fishing boats, private transfers and The River Bumpkin Farm, Island Routes provided flexible, customised, solution-orientated results.

The World Travel Awards was launched in 1993 to recognise excellence in the world’s travel and tourism industry. Votes are cast by industry professionals as well as the traveling public in more than 160 countries.
