Eye on Travel

Peter Greenberg Worldwide—Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica—August 6, 2016

MainVillaExteriorThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It’s one of the great, legendary, and still privately owned luxury resorts in the Caribbean. We’ll be joined by George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, on the great travel deals in the wake of the UK’s Brexit vote, and he’ll report on some unwelcome changes to airline frequent flyer programs — news you need to know. Valerie O’Bryan, Curator of the Montego Bay Cultural Centre, stops by to discuss the country’s rich heritage that goes way beyond Bob Marley. TV and Radio host Emprezz Golding talks about her work with Jamaican youth and how travelers can get involved on their next trip. Film producer and chief organizer of the Calabash International Literary Festival Justine Henzell discusses this long standing event that draws writers and musicians from all over the world every two years. Carolyn Spencer Brown, Editor-in-Chief of CruiseCritic.com, shares her report on how the Brexit vote is (or isn’t) affecting cruise prices around the world, as well as the resurgence of river cruising on the Mississippi. And Guy Steuart III, Chairman of Half Moon, talks about how — more than 50 years ago — a group of 17 investors (including his grandfather) were able to buy the land, build the resort, and expand it to more than 400 acres, and how those same families still control the property today with the same vision and spirit of the original owners. There’s all that and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Half Moon resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
