Jamaica Christmas in July

One hundred and fifty manufacturers of locally-produced corporate gifts and souvenir items will showcase their wide selection of products at the 7th staging of the Jamaica “Christmas in July” trade show on Thursday, July 22, 2021, at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, New Kingston.

  1. This is a signature event of the Tourism Linkages Network, a division of the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF).
  2. The one-day trade show will be a hybrid event (virtual and face to face) to adhere to COVID-19 protocols.
  3. Events like Christmas in July provide much-needed economic support to micro, small and medium-sized businesses.

The annual initiative encourages the purchase of authentic local products by stakeholders in the tourism sector and corporate Jamaica looking for gifts for clients and staff. It is a signature event of the Tourism Linkages Network, a division of the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF).

To adhere to COVID-19 protocols, like last year, the one-day trade show will be a hybrid event (virtual and face to face). Targeted buyers have been invited to view the exhibits on the trade floor, while other interested persons can watch live on Facebook: @tefjamaica and tourismja; Instagram: @tefjamaica and YouTube: @TEFJamaica and @MinistryOfTourismJA, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

“Events like Christmas in July provide much-needed economic support to our micro, small and medium-sized businesses and, in doing so, ensures that more Jamaicans benefit from tourism.  This is particularly important now as many of these businesses have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and need all the help they can get to stay afloat,” said Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett
