“Nicola continues to make an invaluable contribution to Jamaica’s tourism industry through her work in various capacities, and is very deserving of this award,” said Omar Robinson, President of JHTA. “She has had a long involvement with the JHTA advancing the business of the Association and has performed exceptionally well in all assigned roles. At the national level, she is a director of the Jamaica Tourist Board and chair of the critical Gastronomy Network of the Tourism Linkages Network, which has been extremely successful in boosting the image of Jamaica’s cuisine internationally.”
