The event, due to take place on 23 June, will be hosted at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel & Spa, and expects to attract more than 200 participants "eager to celebrate" the return of travel in a "tropical spirit".

The evening will include a cocktail reception, a three-course Caribbean-inspired menu with wine followed by entertainment until 1am.

Colin Pegler, chairman of the CTO Chapter UK & Europe, said: "We are delighted and privileged to partner with the Jamaica Tourist Board and TTG Media in celebrating Jamaica’s 60th Anniversary of Independence at our Summer Ball. 

"The return of this long-awaited ball will bring together the magnificent people, iconic music and warm vibes of the Caribbean to the UK for an evening we know our guests will love being a part of."
