By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 27, 2017

The Jamaica Tourist Board has announced the appointment of John Woolcock as Manager, Groups and Conventions, in the JTB’s Regional Office in Miami.

“I am eager to take on the responsibilities of this new role and look forward to helping the destination grow its market share in groups and conventions,” Woolcock said in a statement. “With our award-winning Montego Bay Convention Centre in Montego Bay, combined with our wide array of accommodations and attractions, I believe Jamaica provides a great option for meeting and incentive planners looking for an ideal Caribbean venue.”

Prior to this appointment, Woolcock held the post of District Sales Manager with responsibility for the west and the southeast USA for over 4 years, this included Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

He brings over 31 years of intimate experience in promoting the destination through the Jamaica Tourist Board.

Woolcock also served the JTB as Business Development Officer for the northeast U.S. based in Boston and Senior Sales Representative based in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
