Jamaican travel advisors ‘sip and paint’ as they experience Sandals
Jamaican travel advisors immersing themselves at Sandals Ochi Beach Resort last week indulged in a bit of ‘sip and paint’ to relax after touring the hotel chain’s Ocho Rios resorts, as they prepared to step up sales of a Sandals vacation to local and Caribbean guests. The tour was part of activities marking Global Travel Advisor Month. Jamaica Observer Photo Editor Joseph Wellington was there to capture the fun activity.
