MONTEGO BAY – It was a 20th anniversary to remember for redtag.ca, spent in sunny Jamaica with Canada’s most well-known on-air personalities and entertainers.
To celebrate the milestone, the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) partnered with the Canadian travel company to host a special ‘Jammin’ in Jamaica’ in Montego Bay on Feb. 10-16 featuring KiSS 92.5 FM’s ‘The Roz & Mocha Show. They were joined by 20 Canadian contest winners and their guests for the week-long trip hosted at the Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa, with flights from Toronto to Montego Bay provided by Canada Jetlines.
“We’re honoured that the redtag.ca team selected Jamaica as their destination of choice to kick off their 20th anniversary year,” says Angella Bennett, Regional Director, Canada, JTB. “It has been a long-time dream to bring The Roz & Mocha show to the island, and Jammin’ in Jamaica was a truly collaborative effort that gave the radio station team and their contest winners a chance to soak up the island’s sunny shores and vibrant spirit.

“We look forward to continuing our valued partnership with redtag.ca for many years to come and would love to welcome more Canadians to visit Jamaica and experience the magic for themselves.”
Nathalie Tanious, President & CEO at H.I.S.-Red Label Vacations Inc., parent company of redtag.ca, added: “This event not only showcased our commitment to delivering unparalleled travel experiences for Canadians but also emphasized Jamaica’s allure as an incredible destination that captivates the hearts of our travellers with its rich culture, stunning landscapes and warm hospitality. We’re grateful to all the partners involved in this wonderful event and would like to extend a special thanks to the Jamaica Tourist Board for their invaluable collaboration in bringing this vision to life.”
The getaway included on-location radio broadcasts and a Valentine’s Day stage show featuring a performance by Canadian singer Jully Black, followed by a set from two-time Stylus Canadian Radio Mix Show DJ of the Year award winner, DJ Clymaxxx. Black also spent time exploring the island, joining JTB representatives on a scenic boat ride to Booby Cay Island and enjoying happy hour drinks at Jamaica’s famous Rick’s Café.
“Jamaica holds my heart in its rhythm, a perfect harmony of my Canadian roots and Jamaican blood,” said Black. “Thanks to the JTB, I was able to explore the island organically, giving me a taste of what it will feel like as a resident, which has deepened my connection, making every corner a cherished memory.”
