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.

Foreign Exchange Earning Focus

Colide Z         Sweet   Music   Jamaica      Tech Life If it wasn't clearer before its now clear as day, Jamaicans must now look to earning foreign exchange in an effort to survive in a very challenging economic environment. The Jamaican dollar relative to the US Dollar at the time of writing the article was US$1:JM$109.49. The revelation while not new to most has been recently underscored by the fact that exchange rate is bearing down on yet another key psychological level. Using data compiled from the bank of Jamaica's website, had I been earning US$1,000.00 per month as of January 1, 2012 I would have been getting JM$86,750.00 as my monthly salary. Today assuming I had not gotten an increase in salary I would have been earning JM$109,490.00 today (Friday, March 21, 2014). Another way to look at this is that had I been earning JM$86,750.00 per month back January 1, 2012 and my salary had not increased, what I could afford to bu...
