THE COUNTRYSTYLE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE – Message from Diana McIntyre-Pike, Chairman/CEO Countrystyle International Ltd and Co-Founder of Countrystyle Community Tourism

Dear Friends:
Thank you for visiting our website – we hope you will allow us to arrange a ‘Countrystyle Community Experience’ vacation and tours to Jamaica and the Caribbean region.

We believe that the Caribbean people are the most exciting, talented, diverse and outstanding people in the world and Countrystyle is proud to introduce them to you. This is why we call it community tourism offering different community experiences depending on your budget and interests.

I am a proud Jamaican country girl and my most cherished memories of growing up are of the people in rural Jamaica. As a child, I enjoyed traveling with my family from village to village and meeting the people and developing positive and long lasting relationships with them. Their kindness and hospitality is something very special which still exists not only In Jamaica but throughout the Caribbean. I have had the pleasure of visiting and working with the Caribbean communities over the past 35 years and enjoyed the best hospitality!

Community Tourism is an exploration of the many options available for a Caribbean vacation. Here in Jamaica, we chose Mandeville as our Community Tours centre which enables you to experience different communities anywhere in Jamaica in one day.
We will take you to villages, business places, farms, churches, schools, hospitals, roadside bars, local discos and nightclubs, flower shops, private homes and parties and more……. we can do this also any where in the Caribbean.

You will meet farmers, fishermen, doctors, nurses, teachers – just regular people who are at work or play, going through the motions of their lives, but more than willing to spend some time with you. They will also become your friends and take a personal interest in introducing you to their culture, heritage, music and lifestyle

The Countrystyle Community Experience allows you to see the roots of the Caribbean region, hear the stories from the people and share their lives…as we say “where the beach ends….our country life begins”
We hope you will give us the pleasure of planning ‘your community experience of Jamaica or anywhere in the Caribbean - We look forward to welcoming you to one of our many communities.

Peace and love - Diana
