"The concept of Priceless Cities was born from MasterCard's desire to create unique experiences in the most exciting destinations in the world, and this is what we focused on when we developed the program in Jamaica," said Lorena Holguin, marketing vice president for MasterCard in the Caribbean, in a written release. "At MasterCard, we have a huge commitment to supporting the tourism industry in Jamaica, a key driver of the country's economy and, through Priceless Jamaica, we want to celebrate everything that makes the island such a unique destination: its history, beaches, culture and wonderful people."

John Lynch, director of tourism for the Jamaica Tourist Board, highlighted that "this partnership between these two iconic brands - MasterCard and Jamaica is significant. The collaboration augurs well for the industry as we work to continue to create authentic experiences for visitors."
