Following the successful staging of The Destination Experience (TDE) at the Golden Eye Resort in St Mary last September, the second staging of the two-day event will be hosted in Montego Bay starting January 14.

TDE – through its platform of curated, social-discovery experiences – connects business luminaries to a dynamic network of people, ideas and opportunities. The objective is to catalyse wealth-creation opportunities for the island starting with its business elite, with the expectation that a multiplier effect in the long-term will benefit the entire island.

The event is aimed at reconnecting Jamaica and the Caribbean with their global counterparts, ensuring that the islands have access to a thriving investment and entrepreneurship ecosystem made up of diverse parts, including international investors, global market influencers and the media.

TDE 2016 is partnering with business titans Arthur Wylie & Michael Rollins (of Rose Hall Development Ltd – largest landowners in the Caribbean) to continue to catalyse and support more international business and socially impactful initiatives for Jamaica and the Caribbean.

The series of events includes a ‘Billion-Dollar Round Table’ brunch, the reopening of the legendary Sugar Mill Restaurant at Half Moon after almost nine months of renovation, a Marley-family private concert featuring Skip Marley, as well as a guided tour of the Rose Hall Great House.
