Why Jamaica Is Your Family Vacation Destination
One of the things that is critically important to the Jamaican economy is the tourism industry and in Jamaica, they take that fact very seriously. Jamaica is an ideal vacation destination for singles, couples, families, or retirees, offering something for everyone.
Every year, approximately two million tourists visit Jamaica. Some are first time visitors, but travel agencies report that more than half of these are return visitors, returning because they love and appreciate everything that Jamaica has to offer as a total relaxation vacation destination. It is no wonder that Jamaicans cater to the tourist industry because tourism contributes almost $1.5 billion dollars into the Jamaica economy each year, and that number continues to grow.

Is Holiday Insurance Necessary for your Vacation to Jamaica?
Whether or not to pay for holiday insurance is a big question when it comes to setting the vacation budget, and often it’s something that you can safely go without. But should you go without it when visiting somewhere off the beaten track like Jamaica?
One of the things you’d need to consider is “how far off the beaten track” are you likely to be going in Jamaica? The more extreme your vacation plans, the more likely you are to be at risk of accident. If you have an accident, what would the options of getting back home be? What kind of expenses would you be facing?

Getting Around on your Vacation to Jamaica
Shuttle buses are the best way of getting around. If you’re undecided between two or more hotels with similar features and prices, choose the one with the largest shuttle service! Public transportation in the form of buses is cheap and cheerful – but it may be too crowded and the driving a bit erratic for most tourists.
Your hotel should provide either an airport shuttle, or a shuttle to a scheduled airport shuttle drop off point. Once you get to your hotel, you will then need to find out how other tourists get to see the wonders that Jamaica has to offer. Hotels may, for instance, offer a scheduled bus service for certain tourist attractions. Some attractions/restaurants even offer a shuttle to collect you from your hotel (make sure they bring you back also!). For some other areas, you may need to hire a cycle for a day. For others, you might prefer to hire car, or take a taxi – communal or private. Whether it’s a cycle or a car, it has to go on the road and so you need to be very aware of the other drivers who are using the road! You also need to be aware that looking at a map that shows an “A” road, doesn’t mean that it will be up to the standard of “A” roads back home – it does however mean that it will have less potholes than a “B” road.
