Airbnb has once again flown high with their new partnership with the beautiful country of Jamaica. This is in relation to their goal to expand to more countries globally this year and the upcoming year. The Jamaican Tourist Board and AirBnb Executives have both signed a partnership deal for their mutual benefit, and of course, to provide more opportunities for Jamaica's tourism to soar high.

The partnership was first announced last November 14th by Jamaica's Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett, with the agreement recently finalized this week. The partnership will greatly boost Jamaica's economic opportunities, as tourism is one of the country's leading economic sectors.

Jamaica is world-renowned for being one of the top-class destinations in the Caribbean aside from other Caribbean islands such as the Bahamas, Barbados, and Grenada. With their partnership with Airbnb, exclusive opportunities will definitely arrive for the locals as well as the tourists who will stay for vacation.

Currently, over 4000 listings are available in Jamaica, with the diverse choices a welcome deal for tourists. It has been estimated that Jamaican hosts would earn an approximate amount of $2,500 each year.

With Jamaica now a part of Airbnb family, Shawn Sullivan, Airbnb's Public Policy Lead for Central America and the Caribbean said in a statement: "We are excited to announce this partnership with the Jamaica Tourist Board. Jamaica is a world class tourist destination that offers visitors a unique experience against a beautiful backdrop."

"We look forward to continuing our work with everyone involved in promoting Jamaica as a top travel destination. Airbnb travelers seek unique and authentic travel experiences and Jamaica offers just that."

The job opportunities at Jamaica will also most likely increase with this new deal. As tourism is one of the main ripples in Jamaica's economy, this is a huge factor in which the local government is currently looking forward to.

Jamaica Tourist Board director of tourism, Paul Pennicook, said: "With this partnership with Airbnb, we will be able to offer a renewed focus on community-based tourism which highlights our biggest asset - our people."
