Jamaica should feel the value of tourism too.
The cultra, hospitality, food, music and communities that make Jamaica memorable should also share meaningfully in the opportunity tourism creates.
YAAD STAY is on a mission to connect more visitors with Jamaican accommodation providers, drivers, chefs, guides, creators and locally owned businesses.
The idea is simple: make travelling Jamaica easier for the guest while creating more opportunity for the people and communities that make the Jamaican experience possible.
Hospitality taught me that the best vacation is never only about where you sleep.
Founded by Michael Downer, a former Guild of English Professional Butler, YAAD STAY grew from years of serving travellers and seeing how personal attention, local knowledge and thoughtful coordination can completely change a guest's experience.
The vision is to make Jamaica easier to experience while creating meaningful opportunities for Jamaican hosts, service professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs and communities.

Small contributions add up. Every local host, driver, chef, guide, creator and business connected to a visitor's journey is part of building stronger community tourism.
Jamaican proverb — a reminder that every contribution matters.

Authentic tourism means more than seeing Jamaica. It means connecting your vacation with Jamaican accommodation providers, drivers, chefs, guides, creatives, communities and locally owned businesses.
Wherever you stay, the details still matter.
