27 Countries Jamaica Should Infect with its Fascinating Qualities


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. If Jamaicans were to strategically develop and market the nations ideas  and resources to the wealthiest and most philanthropic countries the potential for economic investment that could lead to meaningful social development could be tremendous. If people are unaware the following links are just a sample of the infectious and fascinating qualities of Jamaica; Exploring Jamaica's True Treasure Mines. There are also a host of events that ignites Jamaicans right throughout the year; Top 7 event that keeps Jamaica a buzz on the internet.

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.

Jamaica - Country at Alarming Economic Risk

Colide Z     Sweet   Music   Jamaica      Tech Life In an earlier blog   "7 numbers every Jamaican should be concerned about"   I highlighted some data and information points about the state of the Jamaican economy . Today I review those figures with some updated information. The situation has not budged   favorably , in fact it has gotten worse and as a result I feel the need to further highlight the facts and figures in an effort and hope to bring further attention to the matter. Hopefully maybe just maybe more Jamaicans will become more aware and sensitive to the present challenges we face and the critical implications for the future of Jamaicans between age groups 25 - 50.

Even more importantly, we got it at the lowest interest rates ever. •   More Jamaicans are in jobs than two years ago; STATIN has reported that 25,700 Jamaicans were employed this year over last year.  Unemployment as a result is declining; and is now 13.6% down for 16.3% last year April.

Tourism is great and will only get greater - Jamaica's Secret ....

Tourism Opportunities Reiterating, Brand Jamaica is larger than ever and continues to grow. This is in no small part due to the continued exploits of the sports and entertainment talents of Jamaicans. An effect that is then compounded by the diaspora.  The Tourism Industry has been a major beneficiary and will continue to be in the foreseeable future. The industry has been seeing meaningful growth over the last 3 years. It is projected to compound this growth by at least two (2) percent over the next few years. 2014 alone saw an increase in tourist arrivals by 4%.  Jamaica’s True Treasures   continues to be unearthed.
