Given the development and wealth of several major countries throughout the world it would make sense to target these countries for their ability to invest in and develop  a countries economy.

With Jamaica being one of the most entertaining countries in the world it would be of tremendous benefit for the country to attract a far greater portion of the world wide tourism market. The population of these countries combined would exceed 4.2 billion people. Were Jamaica able to attract 1% of those populations over a 5 year period Jamaica could have a tourist arrival of over 8 million people a year. Imagine that just attracting 1%. If each were to spend just US$100 per visitor that would translate to US$800 million easily. Considering that tourist spend  closer to $300 per 2 night stay that could mean a easy US$2.4 billion dollar industry. That's just just the tourism side of the investments. What could the other investment translate too?

Jamaica should grow because its just to easy to do so.

Exploring Jamaica's True Treasure Mines

Colide Z     Sweet   Music   Jamaica      Tech Life If one follows the news and the politics of one particular island of the Caribbean one could easily be misled to believe that the country is possibly a hell hole. After all, things have been challenging for years,  and honestly Jamaica as a country has struggled with crime and corruption, dilapidated infrastructure and a slow economy but the truth and reality is that the country is a living breathing gold mine just waiting to be explored and its content refined. Over the last few years I have been observing, exploring and taking note of these resources  and I am only hoping that one day having recognized these treasures, I extract and refine them for the world to enjoy. Jamaica's most precious mines as explored by me are noted below: Emerald food Mines of Jamaica Many countries can lay claim to them having the best food but I believe Jamaica aka Yard aka Jamrock aka Jamdow...

An exchange rate racing away at who's expense

Colide Z     Sweet   Music   Jamaica      Tech Life Just a quick note on the alarming rate of the devaluation of the Jamaican dollar. As of the end of December 30, 2011 the US$1 was worth JM$86.75. As of the end of trading October 24, 2013 the US$1 was worth JM$104.99. In the space of 21 months and 24 days the Jamaican dollar has been devalued by JM$18.24 or 21.03%. Now you are in one of two groups. You are either poorer as imports to Jamaica are 21% more expensive. Or As a holders or earner of US$ currency you are 21% richer. Pretty decent returns for just buying and holding. The fortune of remittances.      Source: digjamaica.com What will the next 22 months hold? Any predictions as to where the exchange rate will be then? Drop me a note. Now if only everyone would, I will be happy with just a dollar from all my wonderful friends in the US.
