| Submission declined on 6 July 2024 by SafariScribe (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: I think this should be redirected to Round Hill Hotel and Villas. There is not tangible work if not founding the hotel along his wife. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 16:36, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Ambassador John Kenneth McKenzie Pringle CBE OJ (1926-2007) was an entrepreneur, Jamaican ambassador, advertising executive and founder of one of Jamaica's legendary hotels Round Hill. Pringle was Jamaica's youngest MP and first director of tourism serving between 1963 and 1967 [1] where he tripled Jamaica's tourism revenues in four years. Pringle also served as chairman of the Jamaica Tourist Board[2] and chairman of Jamaica's trade organization JAMCO[3] where he championed Jamaica's interests in the banana industry. He served as the European Chairman of advertising agency DDB from 1967. He later became a film and television producer and in the 1990s went back to his routes as a hotelier, helping Chris Blackwell develop his hotels in Jamaica, including Strawberry Hill in Jamaica and The Tides in South Beach, Florida [4]. In 2004 Jamaica made a set of stamps with Pringle and Round Hill[5] and awarded him with the highest honor the Order of Jamaica (OJ). Pringle was awarded the Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1965[1].
