In a Facebook post yesterday (June 6), Ana Palardy announced his departure from Jamaica Tourist Board, where he had worked as business development manager for Quebec and Atlantic Canada since mid-March.
In her brief message, Ms. Palardy did not specify the circumstances of her departure. She simply thanks “dear agents” [and] dear friends” for their support, wishing them “all the best.”
It should be noted that Ms. Palardy’s Facebook post sparked dozens of comments from industry members, almost all wishing her well in the future.
Palardy joined the JTB in March to take up a previously held position. Luisa Paqueta retired at the end of 2021 after 26 years of service at the Jamaica Tourist Board for Eastern Canada!
Mrs. Palardy left her role as business development director at Sandos Hotels and Resorts at the end of February, a position he held for five years.
Previously he was a business development representative for Transat (2012-2016) and sales representative at Mont-Royal Holiday Tours (2012-2014).
Until a successor for Quebec and Atlantic Canada is found, agents may contact the Jamaica Tourist Board directly at jtbcanada@visitjamaica.com.
