Stays at some of the best properties across the country plus a mouth-watering taste of Jamaica’s culinary delights and an immersion in local culture await Tokyo Olympics volunteer Tijana Kawashima Stojkovic on her all-expenses paid visit. The trip is a reward for her kindness to Jamaican gold medallist Hansle Parchment.
“You will be treated to a diamond club bundle of service; presidential suite at the Royalton in Negril and the scenic views and excellent service of the Half Moon and Iberostar hotels in Montego Bay will complete that package,” Tourism Minister Ed Bartlett told the 25-year-old during a press conference Wednesday night. The dates of her visit have not yet been released.
“The vacation will take you and your guest to Moon Palace in Ocho Rios and you will feel the pulse of Kingston at the AC Marriot Hotel,” the minister added.
She will enjoy, he told her, the full destination experience that “will demonstrate why Jamaica is the heartbeat of the world”. Stojkovic helped Parchment reach the Olympic Stadium in time for his semi-final race after he took the wrong bus on his way to the venue, giving him money for cab fare. He came second and went on the later win the finals of the 110 metre hurdles. He sought her out the day after to repay her and say thanks. His Instagram post of the moment they reunited went viral with Jamaicans urging the young volunteer to come for a visit.
