    Canadian Travel News Hour with John Kirk: Royalton Luxury Resorts

    On this episode of the Canadian Travel News Hour with John Kirk on Zoomer Radio, we sat down with Todd Kirlik, Senior Director of Trade Sales & Business Development at Royalton Luxury Resorts, for a wide-ranging conversation about travel, resorts and what’s ahead.

    We discuss the story behind Royalton as a Canadian-owned luxury resort company, its latest developments and continued growth, as well as the rebound of tourism in Jamaica as Royalton properties reopen and welcome guests back following the hurricane.

    Todd also shares his perspective on the continued rise of multigenerational travel, with grandparents, parents and children increasingly vacationing together, and how resorts are adapting to the different expectations and needs of each generation.

    It’s a conversation about Canadian success, Caribbean resilience, new resort experiences and the changing way families travel together.

    Join us on October 4th on Zoomer Radio at 11:00 EST with G Adventures David Green, VP Customer and Sales Operations & Managing Director Canada. Download the Zoomer Radio app for a superb listening experience.

  • The Future of Caribbean Tourism: Why Tourism Is About More Than Travel with Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica's Minister of Tourism
    Aug 10 2026

    Politics is a tough gig, to say the least. My guest in this episode is Hon Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism for Jamaica. He has spent close to 50 years serving the people of Jamaica. Those people must love him, because he keeps on getting elected. This was a very interesting discussion for me, drilling down to learn what can motivate someone for so long in the same space. I hope you enjoy this episode with Ed Bartlett.
