New Website Promotes Tourism in Jamaica

Jamaica´s Port Antonio has launched its long-expected official destination web site at www.portantoniotravel.com, which has been designed to promote the small port city and its surrounding region as The Other Side of Jamaica.

It includes information on history and culture; accommodations; activities and attractions; travel tips, and dining options. The site also stresses the commitment in Port Antonio -- which has launched a campaign to earn Green Globe certification -- to ecology and sustainable tourism.

The area, on Jamaica´s northeast coast, is distinguished by small and/or historic hotels and resorts. The site features an online booking function for vacation packages and accommodations; an interactive map; and virtual tours of properties and attractions.
