Say No to Jet Skis - Please let your voice be heard

If they want jet skis on the beach, they need to have a centralized rental location farther up the beach where there are fewer swimmers and sunbathers. Renting the jet skis cannot be a profitable business. The Jamaican "employees" ride those jet skis around more than the tourists, and they drive the jet skis much like they drive on the road. With the cost of gas, the profits have to be miniscule. When the tourists were injured/killed, was the jet ski operator an "employee" or tourist?

Ryan,

That is essentially the plan, a centralized rental location farther up the beach where all the operators are located. There wont be employees riding around anymore as in the past, as they will not be permitted to leave that centralized area.

The incident in Ochi last August were caused by a tourist, and the incident in Negril was caused by one of the sales operator after assisting other guests with their jet skis.
