Luxury hospitality company, ATWASI may be new kids on the block but they are no strangers to travel and luxury.
ATWASI offers bespoke travel experiences that blend luxe with authentic culture.
Founded by Andrea Baskett-Pee and Marleisse Stephens, the ATWASI duo plans to redefine travel in the tropics by focusing on sustainability and community empowerment, with locally-curated experiences.

It’s no surprise that ATWASI has partnered with Everyday People – dubbed the ‘world’s coolest day party’ (see below) – as the preferred travel partner for their upcoming event, slated for Saturday, October 19.
The collaboration fuses ATWASI’s local expertise and culture touchpoints with Everyday People’s globally renowned cultural platform.
‘ATWASI is not just a service provider; they are your eyes and ears on the ground, ready to address guest needs in real-time. As the preferred travel partner, ATWASI will offer exclusive services to Everyday People guests travelling to Jamaica, including providing a specialized guide to Kingston City, curated accommodation, access to VIP airport assistance and luxury transportation, and other concierge services.

The Everyday People x ATWASI Guide to Kingston City is a resource designed to address the challenges often faced by visitors seeking authentic Jamaican experiences beyond resort boundaries.
While Jamaica has received a Level 3 travel advisory from the US State Department, ATWASI recognises that this broad categorization doesn’t reflect the nuanced reality of travel in Jamaica, particularly in well-managed tourist areas.
‘Our bespoke guide is a game-changer for visitors who want to experience the real Jamaica,’ said ATWASI CEO Andrea Baskett-Pee.
‘We’ve created a comprehensive resource that not only showcases Kingston’s vibrant culture, hidden gems and insider tips, but it’s our way of ensuring that Everyday People attendees can confidently explore Kingston’s rich offerings while staying informed and secure.’

The ATWASI Travel Guide to Kingston offers curated lists of vetted accommodations and authentic local experiences, insider tips on navigating the city like a local, and emergency contact information and procedures.
Marleisse Stephens, chief creative officer of ATWASI recalls her familiarity with Everyday People.
‘I first experienced Everyday People in its New York homebase. Now, it’s both an honor and a privilege to welcome this iconic celebration to Jamaica for the first time as a returning resident.’
Stephens, who’s also a co-founder of ATWASI, is particularly keen on providing fulsome experiences for visitors.
The event, recognised by VICE as ‘The World’s Coolest Day Party’, sits at the forefront of uniting the musical, aesthetic, and cultural realms of the global diaspora.
This partnership with ATWASI further enhances their commitment to providing unparalleled experiences for their community.
Everyday People Jamaica attendees can now book their travel experiences through ATWASI, gaining access to exclusive offers and insider knowledge of Kingston’s vibrant culture and hidden gems.
