Re: Negril needs your opinion...
My prediction, an easy one to make, is that we will see more foreign investment.The Chinese will be a presence. The Jamaican owned resorts, in particular the small ones, will struggle. Sandals will use income from other countries to keep the Jamaican resorts open if they can. Spanish will become the second language on the island. The resorts in Jamaica will have to compete with Cuba for the North American tourist and will try to offset that competition by catering to Russians and former Soviet bloc countries. There will be an attempt to lure the Latin American tourist but I can't quite figure out if Jamaica will really appeal to those tourists.The influence of Spanish speakers will,however, be significant. The allure of the casual use of ganja may make Jamaica a more fun place to visit-if that, in my opinion, is possible. The development of medical tourism which might include the use of medical ganja could be interesting. When I first came to Jamaica, I think that I had to go to Kingston to see a traffic light. Hopefully, Negril could be preserved as much as possible as it is and perhaps even restored somewhat as it was. The other parts of the island could sort of be sacrificed to "economic development".
