JTB appoints new tour operations/airline manager
DIRECTOR of Tourism Paul Pennicook yesterday announced the appointment of Francine Carter Henry as manager for tour operators and airlines for the Jamaica Tourist Board’s regional office in the United States.
Carter Henry, who took up the appointment on February 1, succeeded tourism veteran Anthony King who retired last December. Based in Miami, Florida, she will be responsible for establishing relationships with tour operators and airline stakeholders through the development and execution of marketing and promotional strategies for Jamaica.
With more than 20 years experience in the hospitality industry, Carter Henry was most recently the director of national accounts at International Lifestyles Inc where she established relationships with tour operators and travel agents. She is also the former group credit and collections manager at Village Resorts Limited (SuperClubs), where she managed credit and collections from tour operators in North America and the United Kingdom for 12 resort hotels.
“We welcome Mrs Carter Henry to the Jamaica Tourist Board family,” said Pennicook. “We knew it would have been challenging to replace Mr King, so we are fortunate to secure the competences of Mrs Carter Henry. With her extensive experience with tour operators and airline partners, her transition will be seamless,” said the tourism director.
