Very True statement!
I was in Negril during this shooting. Very sad for the driver and all that knew him. He had just dropped tourists off at their resort and drove across beach road to park. It is at that point he was shot 7 times. While tourists are not being shot (like Cancun), these crimes will can definitely affect tourism. 2 days later, police were on beach road early in the morning stopping cars checking for weapons. They will probably need to do this on a regular basis.
