THE WEEKLY GLEANER | OCTOBER 15 - OCTOBE R 21, 2020 | www.jamaic a-gleaner.com | I B USINESS AS usual has been any- thing but in 2020. While COVID- 19 has disrupted just about every aspect of modern life, it hasn’t halted the wheels of commerce completely. Indeed, the savviest of companies and entrepreneurs have found success amid the pandemic by adopting a more mobile and flexible business platform, one that enables corporate staff and executives to con- duct business –while socially distant and following the strictest coronavi- rus safety protocols – from virtually anywhere in the world. In Jamaica, Kingston’s most iconic hotel, The Jamaica Pegasus, has in- novated along similar lines with the launch of new Workation and Co[ME] Work packages. “The Jamaica Pegasus has a long history of going above and beyond to meet the ever-changing needs of busi- ness travellers,”noted Nicola Madden- Greig, group director of marketing and sales.“Our newWorkation and Co[ME] Work packages further this tradition, effectively pivoting hotel operations to better facilitate the remote working demands of today’s digital nomads and mobile business executives.” TARGET MARKET The Jamaica Pegasus Workation packages are designed for digital no- mads, freelancers, and remote workers based overseas who seek a sophis- ticated and inspiring work environ- ment in the heart of the Caribbean. Workation packages carry a 30-night minimum stay, enabling guests to fully experience the very best of daily life in Jamaica. Rates start at US$3,499 monthly, including all taxes – savings of 70 per cent off regular published rates for a deluxe one-bedroom suite. Co[ME] Work packages are ideal for work-from-home professionals and students living in Jamaica who could benefit from an elegant, resort-style change of scenery to spice up their typical workday. Co[ME]Work packages include the private use of guest rooms converted into office suites with desks and conference tables replacing the hotel’s legendarily comfortable beds. Jamaica Pegasus Co[ME] Work packages can be booked on a daily, weekly (seven days), or monthly (30 days) basis. A four-hour option is also available. Co[ME] Work office suites can accommodate one professional or a group of four. Rates start as low as J$4,500 (US$32) for an office for one reserved for four hours. Jamaica Tourist Board Director of Tourism Donovan White lauded the new packages, stating: “Jamaica Pegasus Workation packages are an excellent addition to Jamaica’s dynamic tourism offering. In these times, living, working, and playing in Jamaica is a winning proposition.” For reservations and full details on Co[ME] Work and Workation package inclusions, guests are encouraged to call The Jamaica Pegasus at 876-926- 3691 or visit www.jamaicapegasus. com.
