With the tourism sector getting ready to welcome the return of international visitors on June 15, one of the Caribbean and Jamaica’s biggest attractions says it is far advanced in regard to health and safety protocols, as it relates to the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Chukka Caribbean Adventures in St. Ann, with more than 800 employees locally and 1,000 more at locations across the Caribbean, shared that it has instituted a programme –dubbed ‘Chukka Checked’ – which is designed to ensure the well-being of its team members and guests “throughout our nature adventure experiences”.
“On our water-based tours, all water equipment will be sanitised before and after every use. Also, no footwear will be allowed on board and all boats/vessels will be sanitised after every activity,” explained Chukka’s Group Marketing Manager, Khristina Rose.
The company, which operates more than 60 adventure tours for all ages in Jamaica, Belize, Dominican Republic, and Turks and Caicos Islands, including horseback riding, zip line canopy, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safari, river tubing/kayaking, river rafting, waterfalls, power snorkelling and catamaran, further stressed that there will be full sanitisation of all areas prior to and after all tours, and employees are mandated to adhere to all health and safety guidelines, including social distancing.
