On Valentine's Day, the Jamaica Tourist Board partnered with Couples Resorts and Sandals to present an exclusive movie screening commemorating the long-awaited debut of the Bob Marley "One Love" biopic.
Amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Yorkdale's Cineplex, travel agents, their hands complete with movie snacks, enjoyed the opportunity to delve into the Jamaican culture, captivating music, and legend of Bob Marley.
Racquel Queensborough said, "Tonight is our first night with retail agents. Later, we will go to Oshawa, and next week, we will go to St Catherine's.
"Travel agents have responded with an appreciation of the music of the culture. They were surprised by the Bob Marley story. The movie blew many away, and one agent had to leave the film; she needed to reapply her makeup because she cried so much during the movie.
"To see the One Love title of the movie-going live, I think we all felt that. We want to show everybody we work with. I think it's so important, especially now it's Valentine's Day," commented Desirée Rolle, Director of Sales Canada, Couples Resorts.
Robert Smith, BDM Unique Vacations Sandals, added, "Racquel Queensborough and Jamaica Tourist Board coined the phrase: 'Take the one you love to see the movie One Love' so the agents were able to bring out there plus one, which was amazing."
This OpenJaw reporter was left feeling exhilarated, sad, and, most of all, with a feeling of "One Love."
