I think even some of the language used on the website Rob provided a link to is a bit overwrought... while I never hesitate to travel to Jamaica (as an experienced traveler and generally cautious person), I don't know that I would want anyone I was trying to convince to join me to read that.

Since Marko copied the entire text of the Gleaner copyrighted news article and did not give the link or credit to the Gleaner, here is the first couple paragraphs along with the link. Knowing many of the past JHTA presidents, they would be foolish to ignore the new travel advisory. But it echos many of the above comments:
"The Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA) says it is concerned about the travel advisory issued by the United States warning citizens about crime here, but it is more worried about the safety of the workers in the industry.
"Crime against visitors is very low, but many of our staff who are living in the volatile communities are faced with this untenable situation,” JHTA president Omar Robinson told The Gleaner this morning."

Let's stop the name calling and personal attacks. Especially since Ricardo Montalban is not here to defend himself.
Thank you for understanding.

Maybe SOME Americans (one in particular) think Jamaica is a "S" hole country and would never visit.
Let them think that if they want! We know better!!!
