The Caribbean Connection Walk for Wellness <\/strong>brought the travel community together to celebrate Caribbean Wellness Day <\/strong>on September 12, 2020.\u00a0 Using modern communications tools, the virtual walk connected travel advisors with fitness enthusiasts in the destinations that they sell, to explore the range of wellness offerings that can be enjoyed throughout the region. The event was organized by Travel Advisors Selling the Caribbean (TASC)<\/strong>, a grassroots organization that advocates for Caribbean travel.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

Several Caribbean sporting icons, fitness groups and trainers assumed the role of Wellness Ambassadors in this initiative. They inspired participants to run, hike, bike, swim, dance or use meditative yoga, by tapping into the vast wellness resources that are available throughout the Caribbean. Despite limitations imposed by the pandemic, the Wellness Ambassadors infused the rich heritage and culture of the islands, to demonstrate unique techniques and unearth various product offerings that travelers can utilize to maintain a healthy lifestyle while on vacation in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The event was hosted by Mark Jenkins, a celebrity personal trainer of Antiguan and Barbuda descent, who is based in Los Angeles. He led the group in virtual warm-up and cool-down sessions and shared fitness techniques that he has used successfully with his roster of celebrity clients that include: Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, Beyonce, D\u2019Angelo, DJ Khaled, Busta Rhymes, P Diddy and Missy Elliott.<\/p>

Jenkins was extremely impressed with the display of talent and quality of fitness instructions and pointed to unique opportunities to position the Caribbean as a premier wellness destination. He encouraged the Caribbean Wellness Ambassadors to collaborate on digital wellness programs that could be monetized and integrated as part of the region\u2019s unique tourism product.\u00a0 Jenkins indicated that the demand for wellness retreats is growing and is being propelled by the use of technology as demonstrated with his own newly released fitness app.\u00a0 Additionally, this accomplished motivational speaker whose messages center on fitness as a tool for community development, is being featured as a spoken word artist alongside American hip hop performers, Public Enemy, on their upcoming album.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also participating in the virtual walk was Sir Richie Richardson, former captain of West Indies Cricket Team. He encouraged the participants to cherish Caribbean Wellness Day.\u00a0 \u201cIt is so important to remain healthy and look after our body, mind and soul.\u00a0 We have the beautiful climate, sunshine and beaches and we should really use all of this to our advantage to live a healthy lifestyle,\u201d\u00a0 Richardson said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Caribbean Wellness Ambassadors used the event as an opportunity to showcase unique characteristics of their destinations as part of their fitness demonstrations.<\/p>
