DISCOVER JAMAICA - MEET THE LOCALS AND FEEL ALRIGHT

Jamaicans are one of a kind and a visit to Jamaica would not be complete without meeting with the locals. When you talk with the locals you will notice that there is a national pride from them about the love of their country. It is great to hear locals speaking in our Jamaican dialect which is a colorful dialect full of fun phrases like ,"ya mon, no problem and irie.

Our motto is out of many one people and Jamaicans are a blend of African, European and other cultures that contribute to a vibrant creative spirit that is reflected in our  culture, heritage, art, music, food and their positive irie outlook on life.I one of my previous blog I defended Jamaican tourist vendors who have been accused and given a bad reputation for trying to sell their souvenirs to tourists in an aggressive manner. However, the majority of our people are polite and lovely to struck up a conversation. with. #jamaica #montegobay #ochorios #holiday #tourexcursion #traveltojamaica#jamaicagetallright #airporttransfers http://pp-jamaica-tours-transportation.blogspot.co.uk/ Visit http://www.paradisepalmsjamaicavilla.com/ for 4 Bedroom Villa sleep 9 persons in Montego bay Jamaica.

I had a conversation recently with someone who lives in #Portantonio and he was moaning that the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) does not invest in #Portland when the parish has so much to offer. Does anyone want to comment on this?#jamaicatouristboard  # portlandtourism ##tourisminportland visit us at http://www.paradisepalmsjamaica.com

JAMAICA SMALL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE RECREATION AND TOURISM SECTOR

Recently I noticed there are a number of people who are interested in starting a business in Jamaica who were making inquiries of what Jamaican sector they possibly "do a thing". I did some research and found that Jamaican Tourism has overtaken a number of other industries which props up the national economy, and as you guess tourism is Jamaica's single largest export industry. Another thing that I have noticed, over the last decade the profile of the travelers coming to Jamaica has changed. Previously, the travelers were predominantly from the top end of the market, however, the trend is now a flow of budget tourists who are looking for other aspects of Jamaica's unique lifestyle and our culture.

Saying all that to say that, most tourist facilities are run as a small business and, now more than ever presents unique opportunities for new innovative recreation services and tourism facilities, These opportunities I identify as:- Nature Based Tours and Eco-Tourism, Cultural Diversity and Heritage Tours & Excursions, Farmers diversifying their business base to include farm visits and explaining Jamaica Agriculture, the organisation of Special Events like Reggae Concerts/Cruise, Sporting Events Cooking Tours/Cruise.

From all these business opportunities I referred to would generate services opportunities such as Souvenirs and Tourism Products, Promotion and Marketing, Staff Training and Business Advice services. So to conclude, in my opinion, Jamaica does currently presents opportunities for persons interested in starting small business in the tourism and recreation sector. 

What other small business opportunities do you see in Jamaica? #jamaicabusinesses #jamaicaheritage #jamaicaculture #jamaicatourism  #jamaicatours #jamaicafarmers

CHILDREN HAVING FUN IN JAMAICA - POSITIVE CONSTRUCTIVE LEISURE ACTIVITIES

As a young person growing up in Jamaica spending the summer holidays was welcoming and thrilling for all the young people in my area. There usually was a river or a stream where most of the boys in our area would go swimming or to catch some fish. The water was always clean and fresh with a greenish look with the exception when there was heavy rainfall, 
The older boys would dive and shoot fish or throw out a line with hook and earth worm as bait at the end of the hook. They would often come away with a catch for the family.  How times have changed as most kids are now spending their time on cell phones play station, Xbox, watching films etc.. Do you recall these constructive leisure activities you had as a youngster growing up in Jamaica?

SHOULD JAMAICA DECRIMINALIZE CANNABIS AND WHAT ARE THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS?

I read in the paper today that the motion to decriminalize cannabis was passed in the Jamaica when the issue was  presented to the House of Representatives last Tuesday. The motion brought by a Member of Parliament requested for the removal of criminal sanctions with proper monitoring and regulations of the herb or collie buds as the locals refers to it.

Do think that this issue require a debate to explore the social impications? Would you argue that a criminal prohibition wouldn't have the expected outcome? Do you think that cannabis should be monitored and regulated? 

A word of caution to all visitors coming to Jamaica, whilst it is still not yet legislated as legal, those who are caught in possessing of cannabis will end up having a criminal record and for locals this will impact on your future job prospects.

JAMAICA RURAL TRANSFORMATION - A KEY STRATEGY FOR MOVING THE COUNTRY FORWARD

On my journey around Jamaica I am always intrigued to find out why the rural areas seem to lack resources whilst the urban areas seem to strive. My findings led me to believe that in the rural areas there are small scale ventures which seems to be limited mostly to agricultural products.As you are probably aware there are yearly hurricanes resulting in disaster. In my opinion, in order to combat the problem of the lack of sustainability of this sector (agriculture), Jamaica must begin to explore what I would refer to as rural industrialisation more thoroughly. 

I believe that this diversification of produce would possibly assist in increasing the resilience of the rural communities whilst increasing their contribution to Jamaica's Gross Domestic Product. This will subsequently help in reducing the levels of poverty which is evident and prevalent in  Jamaica's rural communities.

I urge my readers to consider the importance of this strategy as not simply rural development per se, however to consider the wider implication of  us working to improve the quality of life of the rural residents in Jamaica as well as having a complete transformation of areas. The nature of this transformation I believe would embody how these residents do business, the types of business, and the general attitude of policymakers towards the rural communities.

I conclude with the implementation of these strategies that in the next 50 years or so Jamaica's development could be monumental for our rural communities if we as a united nation make rural transformation a priority in Jamaica.

JAMAICA - WHATS THE FUSS ABOUT? YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU GO!!

JAMAICA - WHATS THE FUSS ABOUT? YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU GO!!

Ok, let me tell you what the fuss is about in #Jamaica. Jamaica is loaded with lively and reserved beaches, waterfalls, museums and populated by #Rastafariansjamming reggae sounds played by the locals, Jamaica is also one of the hottest Caribbean destinations for both holidays travelers and those staying a day on cruise ships. Jamaica is the birthplace of icons such as #BobMarley and #UsainBolt and many flocks to the homeland of these international talents to see what all the fuss is about. #MontegoBay (#Mobay) is the main tourist city and close to miles of resort lined beaches in Negril and Ocho Rios both of which are very popular vacation destinations Resorts. You will enjoy the beaches and water sports at these resorts. The interior of lush mountains and historic plantations is another "fuss", so is shopping for handicrafts, Jamaican rum and dutyfree souvenirs. PPJTours daytrips involves boat trips, scuba diving, tours of coffee or sugar plantations, or a tour of Mobay or Negril to check out its colonial highlights. You would have seen in my previous posts traditional fishing villages such as Port Antonio and attractions like Dolphin Cove. Jamaica is fantastic value for the money and our locals are very hospitable. Jamaican food is a big part of our life and eating outside from beach side huts where jerk chicken and fresh seafood. Music is another big part our Jamaican life and travelers will hear it everywhere. http://ow.ly/i/4tlfF Chat with us or visit us at www.paradisepalmsjamaica tours.com
