Jamaica as a tourism destination faces numerous challenges as a country. As one of the most indebted countries in the world Jamaica in undergoing mass market, large-scale, hotel development as well as condominiums and residential gated communities. Casinos, major tourist attractions, a new international airport, and more luxury hotels are in the process of construction, which is creating great threat to the local community, environment, and natural resources (Collins, 2005, pg. 34). Socially penurious local communities are lacking basic amenities such as proper schools, housing, healthcare, sewage treatment, security, and reliable utilities. Furthermore, ecologically sensitive shorelines are facing an uproar of construction with tourist related superstructure and infrastructure (Dodds & Graci, 2010 pg. 51).…

Puerto Rico is a beautiful place. The sun is always shining and the temperature does not go below eighty degrees Fahrenheit. If you run out of something like sugar or salt, you can always knock on your neighbor’s door and they will be happy to help you out. They treat everyone as if they were family. There is always something to do. Either you can go to the beach, go to the waterfalls, take a stroll through the jungles, or even sit under a palm tree and drink out of a coconut shell. Although there are many pros, there are also many cons. The crime rate in the island of Puerto Rico is high. Many fights involve objects, not just fists. It can be a brick, a stick, or even a broom.

As I sprint across the hot sand that burns the soles of my feet, the smell of salt water and sunscreen hits my face. I can see teenagers nearby as they dive to save a falling volleyball, covering themselves in grains of sand.

When I think Caribbean, I think pirates and food. The idea of pirates is the result of watching too many Disney films, but the thought of food comes from all of the influences from the Caribbean that have become popular in many restaurants. Through my experiences with food culture I have developed the idea of the Caribbean being a very tropical place. My recent move to Miami has brought me closer to the Caribbean, physically and socially. In class I have made friends with people from the Caribbean, and at working in kitchens as well. One culture in particular that seems to heavily influence local food is Haiti. I had the experience of working with a chef that is from Haiti, and he has a big culinary knowledge. Through recent research I have discover the island of Haiti and its history, the foods that grow in its tropical climate, and the dishes that have been developed from influences all around the world.…

As a developing region there are many challenges that we face as a people, be it political or socio-economical.
