I guess I default to a different question... is it bad or good for me? I know that sounds selfish and trite. But what I mean by "me" is the bulk of us here on this board.

Perhaps we can agree that we are a different breed of Jamaican visitor... we get it. Unfortunately, we don't pay the freight... the "Spanish Invasion" does. That's the price of progress.

Time will tell if this will be best for Jamaicans, or just marginally better for them. My personal take is that Jamaicans need to keep more of their own skin in the tourism game... and that doesn't seem to be happening. It's very difficult to do that when outside interests bring such large chunks of investment.
