Jul 18, 2025

Launching in December 2025, the Visitor’s Guide will kick off the second year of this dynamic partnership

 

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, July 18, 2025 – Following a successful debut collaboration, the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) is proud to announce the launch of the second consecutive edition of the Jamaica Visitor’s Guide 2026 in partnership with the Fuchsoto Media Group. After an impactful year promoting the island to audiences worldwide—in four different languages—the 2026 edition is poised to deepen the connection between Jamaica and travelers with an even more immersive celebration of the beloved destination.

 

Scheduled for release in December 2025, the new Jamaica Visitor’s Guide 2026 will once again be distributed at international travel conventions and tourism expos throughout Europe, North America, and Asia, bringing the heart and soul of Jamaica to millions of potential visitors.

 

The guide is a key component for marketing the destination through the official Visit Jamaica website and social channels, which receive 5.5 million visitors combined.

 

“The Jamaica Visitor’s Guide is a valuable tool for connecting travelers with our destination and for partners looking to reach an engaged audience,” says Kristopher DaCosta, Marketing Manager at the Jamaica Tourist Board. “The strong results from last year show how effective the guide is in driving interest and travel inspiration for Jamaica. We’re excited to build on that success in 2026.”

 

From breathtaking ocean vistas and soul-stirring reggae beats to tantalizingly elevated culinary offerings, fragrances that range from tropical blooms to mountain coffee, and the unmistakable rhythm of an island’s ebb and flow – this new edition is designed to transport readers straight into the heart of the Jamaican experience.

 

“Our goal this year is to showcase Jamaica in a way that’s not only beautiful but visceral,” says Ewald Fuchs, Senior Sales Director at the Fuchsoto Media Group. “Readers will feel the island in every page—its textures, sights, sounds, and so much more—all while offering our partners unmatched exposure to a global audience of readers eager for experiential travel.”

 

The Jamaica Visitor’s Guide remains a trusted resource for travelers and industry professionals, highlighting the island’s rich culture, epic landscapes, and unparalleled hospitality. Whether planning their first trip or their fifth, this new edition promises travelers a fresh perspective on why Jamaica is always a great idea.

 

“We’re excited to continue our collaboration with the Fuchsoto Media Group for the 2026 edition of the Jamaica Visitor’s Guide,” said Donovan White, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “This guide has proven to be a valuable resource for travelers, offering a clear look at what makes Jamaica special – from our cultural heritage to the warmth of our communities. As we expand our reach, we hope it encourages more visitors to explore the island and experience all that Jamaica has to offer.”
