It is not "clear" at all. This is why I mentioned that posting your speculation as fact is incorrect and misleading.
While that may be the feeling you take away from your vacation stay, in many other posts here and on other travel boards, other visitors have stated the exact opposite. A number of people feel that there is less harassment in the recent years than they experienced in their past visits. And please remember that their feelings are every bit as strong, honest, heartfelt and true to them as yours are to you. Dismissing their feelings and stating your feelings as fact is not correct and is misleading.
No one is suggesting that there is no tourism harassment. In fact, Jamaican the government recognizes it and has been implementing policies to address it. Is the situation more or less aggressive than it was years ago? Some visitors will say yes and others will say no. It is a matter of opinion. But is a fact that there are both immediate and long term measures being taken by Jamaica to address this issue.
I understand that you feel frustrated. Being frustrated is not a good way to feel. It is your opinion that there is more harassment at the present time, and you are of course entitled to that opinion. But as stated above, it is in no way "clear" or obvious and certainly not a fact.
