about your take on a College of History and Political science in Ja. Please read the quote by Don1:
The room count has increased by over 50% in that time period.... way stronger than any other major Caribbean destination....and among the world leaders in % room growth.
From just about 20,000 rooms to over 30,000...with many more planned & approved but stalled by the recession.
With more rooms and stronger hotel marketing groups....comes increased market reach.
Jamaica has been named among the top 10 favourite destinations worldwide...consistently in the past 8 years by recognized publications.
Jamaica has been named THE #1 Cruise Destination Worldwide several times recently.
Jamaica has the most varied and developed attractions in the entire Caribbean.
Jamaica has modernized its airports and seaports and built a highway connecting all its major resorts and attractions along the north coast. Without this we would never have attracted the massive recent investment in room stock.
These investments have also attracted more airline and cruise lines to start or increase service.
The above along with the unique culture of Jamaica and its celebrity appeal as a marketing brand....Bob, reggae, Bolt, jerk chicken, weed & rent a dread etc etc ... are the key reasons for our relative success.
If Jamaica can make the island safe for its people...and consequently safe for our visitors.... these gains can be consolidated and the potential of the industry realized.
Like the RBZ we should respect every competitor and plan for them...but fear no one.
My point is this why can't our politicians build on what was laid before them? Why is it Ja's economy or the work of others have to be destroyed in order for the other party to gain power? I Was upset when when our banking system was undermined for a cheap political trick (yes cheap because in the long run, our economy hurts and nothing really came of it).
It's high time we have some savvy politicians; trained in the art of politics. The times are changing and at present Ja can ill afford to start from scratch everytime the ectorate changes a party in Govt. The overall education of the populace MUST be changed. This in turn will put pressure on our politician for a level of sophistication.
Ja's economy must now be viewed as a national security and any means to destroy the economy must be seen as a threat to the island's national secuirty. Education must also be seen as national security. I'm yet to see any radical change in Ja's education system. Colonial aprroach to education in JA must be scrapped (the island's survival depends on it).
