This is an issue on which Mr [Bruce Golding] can no longer dither. It demands immediate and urgent action. For even if, as Mr Golding and his Finance Minister Audley Shaw insist, Jamaica can weather the immediate effects of the global credit crunch from America's sub-prime mortgage crisis, the longerterm prognosis is not particularly pleasant. Which, of course, neither Mr Golding nor Mr Shaw can easily say. We need only look at events in the United States (US) for the clues to our potential circumstance. The sub-prime crisis has brought down some of the biggest Wall Street names and has caused America's worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Indeed, the Bush administration and Congress have been working overtime on a US$700 billion bail-out package that would gi...
Water sports top the agenda in Jamaica We recently vacationed at the Rose Hall Golf Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The weather was glorious, and the hospitality of the resort was top-notch.
FIGHTING AN expanding fiscal deficit, Minister of Finance Audley Shaw said Thursday. October 22, that businesses should brace for reform of the system of waivers at Customs that deny the Treasury billions in revenue, as Jamaica plots its medium-term strategy to weather the ongoing financial crisis. For every $1 billion earned through Customs, we give away $500 million," said Shaw at a forum hosted by Scotiabank Jamaica on the supplementary budget, adding that tax reform was coming to the island in a "fundamental way". "Every waiver represents an interest group who, when defending themselves, speak of the good of the nation. Every group which asks for preferential treatment will speak of the benefits to protecting their industry. At some point, however, you will come to what you can aff...
The tourists who fill the indoor wave pool at the Cape Codder Resort & Spa each summer and vie for tables at the Hearth 'n' Kettle restaurants won't arrive for months. But Bill Catania, whose family owns the Massachusetts businesses, already has begun filling out forms to secure 90 temporary workers from Jamaica and Nepal needed to wash dishes and clean rooms once the weather warms.
The Prime Minister insists that the country cannot be comfortable unless we know the specific reasons for the outage and that this matter is of serious national security and national defence consequences," said Minister of Information and Development, Colin Campbell, during Monday's regular post-Cabinet press briefing at Jamaica House, St. Andrew. "However, whereas the company has not ruled out weather involvement, they have reported that, based on the system records, the first event which led to the shutdown was a fault on the Bogue/Duncans transmission line," Mr. Campbell said. "That circuit is critical to the network and ties in all generating stations. "The JPS cannot be relied on to investigate itself in a matter as serious as this," Mr. [Bruce Golding] said. "Nor is the public a...

Jamaica is like a lot of destinations, says Margie Christie, cruise/vacation manager for All World Travel in Dayton, timing is everything. The time of year you visit will affect pricing, availability and even the weather. Spring break and holidays can be budget-busters, and the rainy/ hurricane season can definitely spoil a trip. The fall is great price-wise, but can be dicey as far as the weather.
Given the current global economic environment, a 3.6 percent growth is a commendable accomplishment for Jamaica," noted Director of Tourism John Lynch. "In order to achieve this level of growth, we had to devise strategies to weather the challenges of the economic climate and capitalize on opportunities in the industry as they arise. Our successful relationships with our hoteliers, attractions providers; transport providers and others partners also contributed to this favorable result. Minister [Edmund Bartlett] explained that his vision for 2010 is about "newness" as a new travel industry emerges from the recession of 2009, and he called for greater efficiencies based on the need for competitive pricing and high value. The new dispensation "invites us to think not outside or around t...
