It would be the first time in history that the Caribbean island hosts a stage of the Latin Tour.

“For ALAS it would be a great pride to reach the paradisiacal island of Jamaica, a destination where the Tour  "This has never happened before, and this would bring us more than 17 countries where ALAS events have been held in Latin America and the Caribbean. We are in negotiations to make this happen and we hope to make the announcement in the coming weeks," said the president of ALAS, Karin Sierralta, in a press release.
