HON. EDMUND BARTLETT, CD, MP MINISTER OF TOURISM

Our annual Christmas in July event has become a staple on the calendars of many local small and medium-sized business owners because it not only provides them with a platform to showcase their products but also provides tangible returns. Since 2015, applications for participation have increased 287 percent, and interestingly, with all the challenges created by COVID-19, for this year there was a 26 percent increase over last year when, despite the pandemic, Christmas in July was staged successfully on a virtual platform. It was therefore no surprise that this year’s outlay by exhibitors also increased by nearly 25 percent.

The event was born out of a desire to foster a mutual economic bond between the tourism sector and those in industry and commerce, especially the small and medium-sized innovators with their wealth of creativity. This objective is being achieved. Cumulatively, between 2015 and 2021, participants in the tradeshow earned a total of just under JA$118 million. Likewise, last year, 63 percent of participants reported earning a total of more than JA$9 million under adverse conditions created by the pandemic. In addition to increased sales, participants also benefit from increased brand exposure, which benefits them in the medium and long term.

Christmas in July is not just a catch phrase; this two-day event showcases a range of quality, uniquely Jamaican gifts and souvenir products that must pass a rigid test by a panel of experts and are judged in no less than ten categories, including cultural connection, because they must reflect our Jamaican culture. This is particularly relevant this year as it was planned to also celebrate and highlight Jamaica’s 60th anniversary if independence and feature locally produced gifts and souvenir items to representatives from the tourism sector, corporate Jamaica, government entities, embassies, missions, and international organizations. All of these unique items can be found right here in this catalogue.

I congratulate the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) on this successful 8th staging, which has proven itself to be an opportunity for local producers of gifts and souvenir items to promote their products to alternate market segments. I also wish to congratulate the Tourism Linkages Network, a division of the TEF, which leads this partnership with the Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC), Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA), Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), and the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA).

We are very proud of this important initiative and encourage you to use this catalogue to offer your support to local entrepreneurs who are producing unique gift items that are all locally produced. Happy shopping!

CHAIRMAN, TOURISM LINKAGES COUNCIL

After two years of finding innovative ways to operate, we are heartened by the reopening of the tourism and hospitality industry and the opportunities it has reintroduced to our local artisans, producers and manufacturers, ultimately giving these entrepreneurs the earning capacity to thrive and contribute to nation building.

As Jamaica’s economy continues to move towards a full recovery from the effects of the pandemic, it is with immense pride that we observe how the ‘Christmas in July’ event has continued to provide a dedicated channel to bring buyers to the table. This year’s return to a face-to-face staging after two years of virtual hostings saw 230 new applicants and 180 manufacturers displaying their wares and services; with more than 2,000 patrons attending over what has now blossomed into a twoday event. This speaks to the growth of the event as well as its impact not only to the benefit of the suppliers, but also to the commitment of the purchasing audience.

A piece of our culture and history is placed into every artfully crafted Jamaican-made ware. The annual event, bolstered by the distribution of this catalogue will continue to provide a readily accessible channel through which all interested parties can source authentic and superbly crafted local items. It’s a reassuring feeling that ‘Christmas in July’ remains an avenue for us to continue to contribute to patriotism both here and abroad, while boosting our local economy.

The dedicated Tourism Linkages Council team through the Ministry of Tourism, continuously holds steadfast to the commitment to create prolific and sustainable linkages for our local manufacturers. As we continue to brainstorm ways to enhance future staging of ‘Christmas in July’, we are committed to remaining true to buying and building Jamaica and will spread the word far and wide to influence others to do the same.

Tourism is the main driver of the Jamaican economy. Let us continue to support our talented manufacturers and artisans by #BuyingLocal.
