    Tourists to Jamaica by the numbers!

    It may seem to some that it is raining Canadians, (I hope that is a good thing), but stats from the Jamaica Tourist Board (as of 2012) indicate you are by far most likely to bump in to an American tourist on the beach, then a Canadian, then a Citizen of the UK, then a Deutschlander.
    Lots of stats in the attached link, (if you like that sort of thing!).

    Well, that kind of makes sense since Canada has just over 35 million people & the US has over 300 million people....

    Assuming those figures are correct that would mean 1 in 81 Canadians visited Jamaica last year but only 1 in 301 Americans.

    The easy time travel for the most of US is part of it also. I get to MoBay in less then 3hrs and Bang,I am there.

    I know pals from the UK/Wales who have to fly more than an Astronaut to get to Negril. They are jealous.
