March 25, 2017 JA-Blogz News Team

Jamaica has for a very long time been a preferred destination for millions of people across the globe.

And the land of wood and water has been listed in the most recent iteration of TripAdvisor’s Top 25 destinations in the world.

Jamaica is ranked 12th by the popular American travel website which mentions, among other things, the island’s vast relaxation and adventure offerings.

TripAdvisor wrote:

“Is there anything better than stretching out like a cat in a warm patch of Jamaican sun? Only if you sprinkle your island vacation with a dash of adventure. Known fondly as “the land of wood and water,” Jamaica’s forests feature prime hiking and bird watching. History buffs can the heritage sites of Trelawny, while reggae and dancehall fans will love the authentic music clubs of Kingston. Montego Bay is perfect for snorkeling and shopping, while the spas of Ocho Rios can make any stresses melt away.”

Jamaica was also ranked 1st in a top 10 travel destination for the Caribbean.
