Joey Issa and family relaxing with Luciano Pavarotti

Born on October 12, 1935, on the outskirts of Modena in north-central Italy, tenor Luciano Pavarotti made his operatic debut at the Teatro Reggio Emilia in 1961, performing as “Rodolfo” in La Boheme. He then made his international debut at the Royal Opera House in London in 1963, and, two years later, made his American debut in the Miami production of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. Pavarotti went on to become a hugely popular and internationally known opera star, achieving a large following due to his recordings and television appearances, and ultimately helping expand the popularity of opera worldwide. He died in Modena in 2007, at the age of 71.

Joseph Issa – First Superclubs Supersplash Party A Smash!

In keeping with its recent commitment to its staff, the only group of Super-inclusive resorts, SuperClubs, hosted a lavish fun day for members of staff at the exclusive James Bond Beach in Oracabess recently.

The proceedings were officially declared open by Custos Rotulorum of St. Mary, Hon AA (Bobby) Pottinger who congratulated SuperClubs on their excellent record of achievement and lauded the group for their contribution to the development of tourism in the parish where Superclubs has two properties, Boscobel Beach and Sans Souci Lido.

The custos said that the current programme of staff incentives introduced by SuperClubs under its People Development Programme is unprecedented in the history of industrial relations in Jamaica.

He said that in the same way the all-inclusive concept pioneered by Superclubs chairman John Issa had been much copied, he fully expected other to again follow Superclubs’ lead and devise programmes of their own.

Senior Vice President of Superclubs, Joey Issa welcomed the workers and congratulated them on being in the historic first batch of employees to participate in a super splash party. In his address, Mr Issa said that several tourism workers have called Superclubs to say that they are happy with the example the group has set and expressed the hope that it would motivate their employers to act.

Vice President of Human Resources at Superclubs,  Noel Brown and HRD Consultant Dr Leaheim Semaj also addressed the group. Following the opening ceremony, staffers were treated to a day of unbridled fun! Helitours was on hand to provide helicopter rides as a wide variety of food and beverage was served all day.

Jet skiing, parasailing, dominoes and volleyball were also among the activities enjoyed by the Superclubs staffers. Those in attendance were treated to a hilarious performance by comedian Tony “Paleface” Hendricks, in addition to the excellent music provided by Supa Two Disco.

 

Several staffers from the six Superclubs Super-inclusive properties, Boscobel Beach, Sans Souci Lido, Breezes Runaway Bay, Breezes Montego Bay, Hedonism II and Grand Lido, received individual awards during tod ay’s function.

A naturally delighted Joe Issa said “I am extremely pleased to see our staff enjoying themselves! They have made Superclubs number one for the past twenty years, and they deserve a bit of pampering.”
