Jamaica to adopt SITA ’ s Digital Travel Declaration to streamline inbound travel
Caribbean tourist destination Jamaica will adopt SITA ’ s Digital Travel Declaration solution allowing travelers to submit all immigration , customs and health documentation required for entry into the country through one easy , efficient and secure platform .
Digital Travel Declaration will support Jamaica ’ s Passport , Immigration and Citizenship Agency ( PICA ) in clearing passengers for travel pre-departure , supporting a safe , streamlined return to international travel in a country where tourism is a key contributor to the economy .

As passenger volumes surge across the globe , SITA ’ s Digital Travel Declaration will help travelers avoid long queues at the airport , automating verification processes and certifying that they have the right documents to travel before they even arrive at the airport .
“ We want to welcome visitors to Jamaica in the friendliest , safest and most straightforward way possible and we are delighted to see visitors returning in great numbers ,” said Andrew Wynter , CEO , PICA . “ SITA has provided us the opportunity to streamline our processes for entry to the country and offer a simpler experience to travelers while helping ensure the safety of everyone .
