Irena you crack me up when you said What are the expecting to see in a bedroom "a duppy"!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Yes I had to rewind video 😂🤣
I died 🤣
Great job Irine. I was just thinking you should sell some products on your channel. You are always wearing those sleeveless tee with double colors . How about selling them on your channel. Maybe some with Jamaican colors.
You’re a gem!! You put in countless hours to give us free excellent business advice. Your selflessness doesn’t go unnoticed. From the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU! May your blessings return to you 💯 times. One love. Btw, I watch all the ads. My small contribution.
Thank you so much, this really helps! 😊🤗
I love how you get into the nitty gritty of the target market! So informative!
Great advice! Keep them coming.❤🇯🇲
Yeah great advise .
Love this. The USA is now going to crap. I need to move to Jamaica with my kids and re-start my life. Thank you.
I’m right there with you!
@@Friskyfinds Me too! lets GO!
That is my plan! I'm doing the research now!
Yesss me too I love Jamaica
Irina you're such an impressive lady. I admire you. 🌸
This is not for the lazy!
Those insights into the inner workings of tourist industry in Jamaica are precious, bless your soul for sharing them.
А ещё ты безусловно вдохновляешь!
You just eased many potential headaches
Hi Can you tell us the best place to buy gated home in Jamaica ?
Extremely useful
Air bnb is great because it opens up the tourism hospitality industry to the public! It’s not right that huge hotels make most of the money from hospitality in Jamaica, every visitor should stay at air bnb or small guest houses 😃🏝❤️
Another fantastic informative video Irina. 👊🏽🇨🇦🇯🇲
you are brilliant! good job! Never been to Jamaica but when I do, I trust that I should stay at one of your properties!
This was so informative! That's because you are a logical person. lol! Have you ever thought about doing voice overs for a documentary? you have that type of delivery for a format like that. lol. Take care!
Irina no one else could ever says it better 👍😊🙏 prosperity and blessings to you Empress Irina
I literally just made my final decision. As a Jamaican overseas who is an expert in Hospitality...I was worried that that genuine care would not translate. And I would need to be present to focus on my guests. Thanks you’re amazing
Very informative as usual. You always give background, pros and cons and overall great information. You’re gifted as a teacher and a communicator. Keep up the good work. I bet you could make a vlog about crickets exciting 😂
This was so thorough I really learnt a lot, thank you
Thank you Irina, I’ve learned a lot! I can’t wait to see your next video re Airbnb👌🏽
I love AirBnB in Jamaica because it is a great opportunity for community tourism and as you said, local Jamaicans to gain an income and tourists to have an authentic experience.
That's true Irene. Before Covid i stayed in Airbnb all over the world in central city locations . Easy access to transportation and restaurants.
It's funny you should mention a rooster. We stayed at a B&B in the past and early in the mornings a rooster would wake up. The last time we went everything was quiet and we found out the rooster was eaten by a dog. My husband said, thank goodness!
Irina, your accent sounds like it has a tinge of South African in it! Shoutout from Birmingham Uk 🇬🇧
Big up Northfield, B'ham, UK 🇬🇧
Excellent video and information! Thanks for doing this.
Sweet beautiful lovely lady thank you for sharing your videos with us love take care be safe bless up
Thanks for helping me set up my Airbnb in Kingston xx you were so pleasant on the pirate tour!!
Irie that.is the freedom of Jamaica and Jamaican take it for granted
They are way too busy cursing their country to notice the good aspects.
One of the most comprehensive and fully transparent videos regarding Airbnb in JA ✊🏿
Irene what do you know about Duppy 😂. I would love to meet with you.
Good morning Irie, on point again with great information buy Irie what do you know about "DUPPY" LOL.
It’s the consistent format for me 😍😍😍
I cannot get over how on brand she always is and is so consistent and informative with her videos!
Awesome advice Irina! You are the best I swear.
Always providing helpful, well researched information, thanks! A "duppy" LOL 😆
I liked and subscribed ... absolutely love your content. Thanks for the really great advice!!
I keep coming back to this Chanelle because you are very detailed information I thank you for that💯💯 keep up the good work.
Thanks for another great video, Irina! I'll be in touch with questions when I'm ready to start my Air B&B. One Love!
Hi Irie, we will be visiting Jamaica soon thank you for all your input and amazing reviews of Jamaica
Insightful information indeed
True ambassador. Thanks for the videos and education. ❤️👍🙏
Early again as always great job
Great information...
Really on point Irena. Very useful. I've rented rooms in uk but Jamaica is going to be a challenge especially for senior aged host 😂. Bring it on lol
The target audience would already booked the airbnb before they meet with their host. At what point would the host be aware of their target market
When guests are searching for a place on Airbnb - how do they choose the one to book? They pick the one that suits their needs. But how do they know it suits their needs? Because a host posts the listing on Airbnb and shows what they offer. So, to answer your question - hosts should know what their target audience is BEFORE they start advertising their place on Airbnb. And they learn about target audience from market research. I will be giving an example in a video with step by step instructions, I hope it helps!
Thanks Irina for the wonderful information. I guess the people who are asking you to manage their property for Airbnb are owners who live abroad. They need to consider/stay with longterm rental.
If they're already running longterm rental homes in Jamaica from abroad and need local assistance managing them, local realtors can assist them for a monthly fee. I believe most charge 10% of the rent. They will collect and deposit rent, keep up with grounds keeping and general maintenance and repairs.
When they ask if you know about management companies, tell them to contact local realtors in or near the location of the homes they are seeking help with.
I'm a property owner living in Florida who do longterm rental in Jamaica. I have friends, relatives and tradesmen who help me out with maintenance issues as they arise, and I just give the tenants my account number and they deposit the rent themselves into my account. My current tenant set it up so the rent is electronically transferred from his account to mine every month.
I'm considering switching to Airbnb, but wouldn't attempt doing so until I move back.
Thank you so much for this! Yes, that's what my usual recommendation would be to go with long-term rentals. That's what I do with my properties in Ukraine - renting them long-term. However, when people are asking about their properties to manage - they talk about Airbnb specifically, and that's why this video is here - to explain what goes into it, so they can easier understand if this is something they want to do or if it's better to stay with long-term rentals.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE yes Irina, you are welcome. It is not impossible to have your Airbnb business in Jamaica managed while you live abroad, but just not advisable. My notion is, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. With that said, I'll never convert my property to Airbnb unless I'm boots on the ground. Longterm rental is a different thing.
Great info...
This is fantastic advice Irina! We have been considering a condo for years. But maybe we wait for a minute or a few years and not deal with renting, great advice! We will be down soon though 👍

Hi Erie I’m a yardie living in Houston Texas i love your videos
Met you about a year ago on the Private island trip (I think 5 in one). You were also really helpful in pointing me in the rig by directions for my own Airbnb, sooo elated to see you on CZcams! How can we connect to speak about Airbnb experiences in Jamaica? Mines also get declined even though it’s literally identical to yours. Idk if it’s prejudice or what
The insight she has is invaluable, plus her charming personality is a winner... that my friend cannot be duplicated..
Hi there! Thank you for the comment! I'm not sure when we could have met, since all our tours are run by guides, like Derrick or Winston, who are Tourist Board qualified guides. HOWEVER, I do meet guests from time to time before the actual trip just to say hello and answer any questions, so I wonder if that was the case when we met. :) As for Airbnb Experiences - it took me about 6 months to get through to have my first experience approved. Then I was declined about 10 times for each of the experiences, because they kept asking for more documents. Then they approved them.. but when covid hit - they cancelled all reservations and removed our experiences without warning us. From june 2020 until December 2020 I was trying to reach Airbnb Experience team to have my experiences restored (since we had a few hundred reviews and good ratings and I certainly didn't want to lose all that work!). It was super hard to get through to them, and after about 20 emails/contacts etc - they finally restored 2 of our 5 experiences...
As for your Experiences being identical to ours - not sure what you mean, but if you also have a limited company registered, tourist board license, TPDCO license, JUTA license, Public liability insurance for your company, vehicle and the driver, professional guide and a brand new van. You will also need contracts with attraction places to be able to offer tours to them with the kind of pricing we offer. So far, I haven't seen anyone being able to run similar tours to ours on Airbnb and this is because we actually kept running these Experiences at a loss. This means we charged less than we actually spent and we had been making a loss with tours for several months before we could hit the goal and start making more bookings, which finally allowed us to make profits. So, I honestly don't think you can have identical tours to ours, unless you're ready to invest several thousand USD into this from your own pocket and several months of running around getting all the paperwork + contracts. And this is before you even set the Experience on Airbnb.. And it also took me a few years of travelling around Jamaica to understand what kind of combo can be created, so that guests would book it and then we can exceed their expectations. All of this at a risk that the Experience might not even work... or covid hits and we lose it all.. 🤦♀️ But to answer your question, no, there is definitely no prejudice. Airbnb company has no idea who you are, what you look like, what you want to do etc and they don't care about you or me. What they do care is a the documents you can provide and the kind of experience that corresponds to their requirements. That's all 🤷♀️
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIEthanks for taking the time to respond. I’ll continue submitting then, I thought I was an anomaly! We did meet at the Burger King in Mobay before the tour.
Nice job girl
Good stuff….. I want to know more.
I would love more AB@B in Jamaica to Crippled some of these Hotel that's taking all the Money out of Jamaica and with these outrageous prices and...and the Prices of AB@B is now almost close to these hotels prices... Merrilee greed soon they will screw it up for all.My Opinion.
Very naive statement. Over 50,000 Jamaicans work within the hotels, many of which pay mortgagees, school fees, taxes, retirement plans etc. I personally have family members working for Sandals for over 20yrs and based on your statement, these jobs are expendable. Just how many people do you believe work for an airbnB and receive any kind benefits? I wish none to fail but all to prosper. I stay in Airbnb in Jamaica but I also stay in the large hotels. I enjoy them all.
@@kwacou4279 NAVIE..HMMM.Sir I have forgotten more than you will ever learn/know...I did say it was My Opinion...I do have one.
@@kwacou4279 the profit made by these hotel is massive and most of it is left abroad. The salaries made by the 50000 is small compared to the total made by these hotel. Airbnb is not the answer. Local jamaican own less than 1% of the sector and earn only a small percentage of the income. We need concepts to have less all-inclusive and more community tourism where the income is spend amongst locals.
Thanks for an informative video. You are beginning to sound Jamaican now, "duppy" LOL.
Best quote of video ‘a bed? What else should there be, a dumpy?😂
Сибирский привет! тёплый ролик! выглядишь прекрасно!!!
