If traveling is your passion, Brazil is your destination. Brazil will take your breath away with its dazzling beaches, forest trails and lively cities. Brazil will put all your emotions to the test.

Northeast Region

In order to get to know Brazil's roots, where nature is abundant and the country offers its most extensive display of popular culture, you need to visit the northeast. This region includes nine states where, you will encounter summer weather year-round, as well as the most beautiful beaches on the continent. The delicious swing of typical dances, such as forró, frevo, and lambada, as well as the electrical instrument caravans and Carnival, will easily captivate you. You will savor a wide array of African dishes seasoned with palm oil and pepper sauces, as well as many seafood and cassava dishes accompanied by Brazil's most famous national drink, the caipirinha (distilled sugar cane with lemon and sugar), or by a refreshing coconut milk. The regional handicrafts produce an extensive variety of souvenirs.

Jamaica’s tourism officials are already declaring the ICC Cricket World Cup a marketing success for the country and are pledging to build on the momentum gained from the event.

"We’re quite happy with what has been done so far… certainly the opening ceremony last week represented a great opportunity for Jamaica to show the preparedness of Jamaicans", said David Shields, Deputy Director of Tourism, for marketing, in an interview with the Caribbean Media Corporation.

Furthermore, he said, the crowds at Sabina Park for the matches played so far have been quite encouraging.

Still no charge for up to 2 bags, in-flight meals, entertainment and exemplary "Lovebird Hospitality"

As other airlines cut prices and increase the number and cost of in-flight "add-ons," Air Jamaica continues to provide the kind of flight experience its consumers deserve, and then some. The World's Best Airline to the Caribbean is not just a tag line, it's a corporate philosophy.
