Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival 2009

Air Jamaica and JTB continue to work together to promote annual music Festival slated for January 22 - 24, 2009!

Jamaica: The Jamaica Tourist Board and Air Jamaica have once again partnered with Turnkey Productions to be major sponsorsof the annual jazz and blues festival held each January in Montego Bay. A strategic decision was taken to rename the festival to give the Jamaica Brand prime positioning. To facilitate this move the JTB agreed to add their official JAMAICA branding to the name and logo, thus rebranding the festival as The JAMAICA Jazz and Blues Festival with Air Jamaica as the presenting sponsor. The 2009 event will take place from January 22-24. After meetings with both organizations, Walter Elmore, the President of Turn-Key Productions,was happy about the new branding for the Festival. ""We believe that the new name represents the Festival as a national event that attracts thousands of tourists and returning residents to the island. The JTB has agreed to add their official JAMAICA brand to the name, and Air Jamaica remains committed to the festival as presenting sponsor. We all believe that this strategic move at a time when the Jamaica Brand is at its highestpopularity globally, can only serve to strengthen the overall appeal of the festival to visitors worldwide." Basil Smith, Director of Tourism was especially excited by the new branding. "The annual Festival has provided exceptional opportunities to attractvisitors from all over the world to come to Jamaica that may not have otherwise come to our country. The fact that the Festival will now officiallybe the JAMAICA Jazz & Blues Festival, will help the JTB to strengthen the event marketing throughout the world and reaffirms our branding in that ‘Once you go, in this case to the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival', you know." Air Jamaica, the country's national carrier, was instrumental in launching the Festival and kept it going strong for over a dozen years. "The airline's support of the Festival is unwavering" said William Rodgers, Air Jamaica's Acting President and CEO. "Air Jamaica has long recognized the importance and impact that the Festival has on both tourists coming to Jamaica and with Jamaicans at home and abroad. The Festival also allows for the aggressive promotion of both the airline and the country as Jamaica becomes the center of the entertainment world during this period. Popularly known just as "Jazz", the 2009 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival has become the must see and must be at event on the entertainment calendarof the year; as many Jamaicans attend the Festival to share time with associates, family and friends from around the world.As the plans for the Festivalmove into high gear, Turn-Key Productions continues to attract major sponsors for the Festival and has begun to build its star studded lineup for the2009 Festival. "We have quite the legacy to live up to" said Walter Elmore. "In past years we have had such incredible performers like Alicia Keys, Kenny Rogers, George Benson, Shaggy , Monty Alexander, Morgan Heritage, among hundreds of other stars that have come to Jamaica to perform. And while, we cannot reveal our lineup just yet, I am positive that Jamaicans and music lovers from all over the world will be impressed and will do whatever it takes to find their way to Montego Bay at the end of January". The 2009 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival presented by Air Jamaica will be staged at the historic Aqueduct in Montego Bay from Thursday, January 22 to Saturday, January 24. Tickets for the Festival go on sale later this year. For more information and all the updates please visit the festival online at http://www.jamaicajazzandblues.com/

The amazing Royal Plantation, Ochi Rios WI Jamaica

Built in the glamorous 1950’s, during a time characterized by extraordinary old-world luxury, this serene sanctuary still maintains a stellar reputation as one of Jamaica’s most exquisite resort-inns. Royal Plantation sits on a bluff soaring 25 feet above the shimmering Caribbean, granting each and every one of its 74 sumptuous suites heart-stopping views of the ocean. Bask blissfully on our spectacular twin beaches—glorious golden-sand coves where you can spend countless hours soaking in the sunshine and sipping on "mangosas," delivered ice-cold and sparkling to your hands by unobtrusive beach butlers.

Located roughly in the center of Jamaica's North Coast, Ocho Rios lays claim to an incredible variety of natural and manmade bounty. Characterized by luxuriant greenery, mountains that soar down to meet stunning beaches, plus the world-renowned, Dunn's River Falls, this town virtually pulsates with an energy all its own. It even boasts Fern Gully, a winding five-mile shallow canyon carved out by a long-dried-up river, that now hosts over 500 species of ferns and some tropical flora that you would be hard-pressed to find outside of a rainforest. Having explored the majesty of Mother Nature, don't forget to take in all the hustle and bustle of Ocho Rios' crafts market, duty-free shops and local color.

Sandals Resorts has once again embarked upon a ten-city North American tour to provide travel agents with a firsthand overview of all of the new and exciting projects happening at Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, the Royal Plantation Collection and Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts. The Luxury Included® Legacy Continues Tour, which kicked off in Miami, FL on October 11th, introduced agents to new upgrades, expansions and partnerships slated for each of the resort brands in the Sandals Resorts International portfolio.

The inaugural event commenced with a tradeshow exhibition where agents had the opportunity to view the latest collateral materials available for all resort brands, followed by a sit-down luncheon, where they heard about the company's exciting new initiatives and expansion projects directly from Sandals Resorts' Chairman, Mr. Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, and CEO, Adam Stewart. Additionally, resort General Managers, Mr. Jeremy Jones of Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa and Mr. Louis Grant of Sandals Dunn's River Villaggio Golf Resort & Spa, were available to further enlighten agents on the new events and updates coming online at each of their properties. Agents also received a preview of the all-new philanthropic division of Sandals Resorts, the Sandals Foundation, as well as future plans and details on Sandals Resorts' commitment to the community and environmental sustainability.

"Sandals Resorts continues to provide agents with the materials and information needed to grow our own businesses," said Harold "H" Fry of Travel by Horizon in Plant City, Florida. "I consider myself to be one of the company's loyal partners and look forward to introducing their outstanding new Luxury Includeded upgrades and stunning suites to my valued clients."

OUR DREAM HONEYMOON WISHES REGISTRY

When you think about allowing others to participate in your wedding, one of the greatest ways is to create a Registry.

Our Dream Honeymoon is a proud sponsor of some of the shows, giveaways, and of course a wonderful registry to use for your upcoming wedding. Our dream Honeymoon has provided a number of gifts including: Shirts, Diamond Rings, Pearls, Trips, and other goodies that all the brides love.

This couple won a 1 carat diamond ring at one of our events, courtesy of Our Dram Honeymoon and are going to the luxury Sandals Resorts for their Honeymoon.
We have personally had couples create a registry that took care of their entire honeymoon they had planned. Take a look and talk to one of our honeymoon consultants for ideas on how to best use the free registry.

Wedding Registry Etiquette

Registry Etiquette
With so many couples that 'have it all', when it comes to household items receiving a crystal bowl for your wedding may not be what you had in mind. These days, it is not unusual or inappropriate to have a non-traditional registry such as a honeymoon registry. This won't shock your mother. In fact, she will probably think what a fabulous idea!

A honeymoon registry, or any registry for that matter, is way to ensure that couples receive items they want and will enjoy, as well as items that their guests enjoy giving.What is more fun than having your guests purchase a candlelit dinner on the beach, a couples massage or a balloon ride….whatever you desire to make your honeymoon your dream honeymoon. We all know the cost of weddings is very high and when it comes to your first trip as a married couple, you don't want to scrimp on anything. You will have many trips together but your honeymoon is the trip you will talk about for the rest of your lives.
Registry do's and don'tsDo Register
Your guests want to buy you a gift and by registering it helps your guests know exactly what you would like. It also ensures that you will receive what you want and saves time returning five of the same item that you don't need!
Don't put off starting your registry
Once your family and friends know he 'popped the question', they will start preparing for the engagement party and bridal shower. You want to register up to 9 months in advance and it is never too late to register - use your registry for wedding gifts as well.
Do get the ‘word out'
Give your parents, bridesmaids and groomsmen all of the details about your registry so they can start letting your guests know by ‘word of mouth'. If you have a wedding website, place your registry information on your website (don't forget to include the website address and telephone number). Use the announcement card or email service provided by your registry. Never send a registry announcement in your wedding invitation. An etiquette taboo! The one exception is the shower invitation.
Don't forget to consider more than one registry
There's no “correct” number of registries you can have. Get together with your future spouse and discuss what makes you both happy. Having a store registry and a honeymoon registry is a way to cover all the bases. Besides, it's more fun for your guests to purchase the gifts you want.

Do register for gifts in a range of prices
Registries are not only for engagement parities or showers; also use it for your wedding gifts. By having gift items in all price ranges this will ensure you don't leave anyone one out when it comes to their budget. Having a range of prices will allow guests to purchase lower price items for a shower and higher price items for a wedding gift.

Getting the Word out
If your guests do not know where you are registered they cannot purchase the gift of your choice. Distinctive Honeymoons provides 50 insertions for shower invitations which etiquette wise is fine to insert in an invitation. We also provide 100 registry announcements for your wedding. Etiquette - There should be no mention of a registry in your wedding invitation. We will send the cards in a separate mailing a few days after your wedding invitations are mailed.. Full-service all the way!
DO say "Thank You"
Always send a hand written thank you card. Gifts received before the wedding should be sent within two weeks. Gifts received after the wedding should be received no later than 3 months after you return from your honeymoon. Don't forget to mention the gift by name.



Please find two great sources for Honeymoon Registries

A REAL LABOUR OF LOVE GOING GREEN WITH YOUR LOVER!

If this is not what an example ought to be ....... we do not know what is when it comes to going green!

A real labour of love: Couple trawl streets for litter for three months and recycle it to pay for their honeymoon flight
By Bill MoulandLast updated at 10:58 AM on 06th October 2008

For most couples, planning the perfect honeymoon is a labour of love.
But John and Ann Till, it would seem, have worked harder than most.
The couple spent three months collecting an incredible 60,000 pieces of rubbish to gain 36,000 air miles in a supermarket recycling incentive scheme.

Labour of love: John and Ann Till went out and collected rubbish to recycle for three months and earn air miles to pay for their honeymoon
They came up with the idea after noticing that a local Tesco store was awarding one clubcard point for every four items of rubbish returned.
These points could then be turned into vouchers and converted into British Airways air miles, which paid for the pair's £3,000 business class flights.
Mr Till, 31, a railways communications manager, said: 'We found the recycling machine by accident when we were buying petrol.
'We wanted to make our honeymoon special and were trying to think of ways to raise money for it.
'I saw on the machine that you got a Tesco clubcard point for every four items you put in.
'For every 250 clubcard points, you get a £2.50 voucher, which equals 600 BA miles.
'We worked out it would be possible to turn rubbish into our flights - as long as we had enough.
'We went out most evenings during the spring - we would nip out to the pub and take a long route coming back.
'We soon found the best places to pick up rubbish.
'It was mainly things like coke bottles and cans of lager. I was quite shocked to see how much stuff was just dumped at the side of the road.'

Dedicated: The couple demonstrate how they spent the last three months trawling the streets of Hampshire for rubbish
Mrs Till, 24, a merchant navy navigation officer, added: 'Sometimes we were posting up to 600 items a time into the machine.
'We would be there for hours putting stuff through the slot.
'It was snowing one evening and freezing cold but there we were chucking stuff into the machine.'
The couple, from Petersfield in Hampshire, soon came up with ways to gain more air miles.

From Hampshire to the USA: The couple enjoying their hard-earned honeymoon (right) which they paid for by collecting air miles from recycling at Tesco (left)
They began to find abandoned trolleys filled with rubbish that customers had dumped outside recycling machines which had broken down.
Mrs Till said: 'We had a few lucky breaks. It's funny how you can get interested and excited about rubbish after a while.'
By May, the pair had reached their goal and were able to go ahead and confirm their £3,000 honeymoon.
They married in August, sailed to New York on the Queen Mary 2, visited Denver, Colorado and Nashville before catching their business class BA flights home from Atlanta.
The flights would have cost £1,500 each had the couple paid for them.
Mr Till said: 'While it was nice to get the rubbish for the good cause, it was disappointing to see there's a lot of litter in our town.
'But it did raise a smile when we were in business class on the flight back to Gatwick to think that the litter louts of Petersfield had paid for the pleasure.'
