    Just a thought.
    Surprised to hear that coming from you, I have been taking my two little boys for seven straight years now. I feel very safe on the beach up until 11 pm, later if I'm with my group of friends who meet us. the day time 0 problems, I've started to let them wander a little distance on their own. We stay at Idle awhile beach, they are allowed to go down to Margaritaville and up the other way to about where the pattie lady is, it become to adult any farther for them. Accompong you usually just preach common sense will get a tourist far.

    of course we are from Baltimore MD, and our town ain't no picnic.

    When you take my reply in a quote and don't reference what I was referring to in the quote, it doesn't follow in context.

    I do believe that common sense will get a tourist far. What I don't believe is that without addressing the escalating crime problem, getting people off the AIs and skipping an AI all together is a too heavy lift (In my opinion).

    I admit that since I no longer stay in Negril, I come at this from a more "island" point of view than you do staying on the 7 mile beach. Maybe I see more of the crime problem while living essentially "embedded" in a local neighborhood. In any regards, I think we both can agree that expanding the All Inclusive "experience" at the expense of the small accommodation providers is a net negative.

    Again.....This is just my opinion.
