The Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) will once again participate in the annual Taste of Chicago, offering interactive island activities for kids and adults in the Family Village on Tuesday, June 29, from 11:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.  The Family Village is located to the left of the main entrance to Taste of Chicago on Michigan Avenue. Taste of Chicago takes place from June 25 to July 4 and is expected to attract more than six million visitors to enjoy delectable cuisine and entertainment. Admission is free and food tickets can be purchased on-site.

“Jamaica is an easy and affordable destination to get to from the Chicago area and boasts so many activities perfect for families of all ages,” states John Lynch, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “Our visitor arrivals in the 1st quarter show an increase of 9.2% which we believe is due to the diverse range of hotels, attractions, improved airlift, improved infrastructure, and the value we offer.”

Representatives from the Jamaica Tourist Board, Sunset Resorts and Apple Vacations will be handing out Jamaican-branded goodies as well as helping consumers plan their next trip to Jamaica.
