Idyllic white sand beaches and vibrant tropical blooms sit on a backdrop of blue mountain peaks. As the adopted home of the Rasta, Jamaica is also a riot of red, gold, and green. Renowned as the birthplace of Bob Marley, reggae remains at the island's musical heart. Rice-and-peas, rum, coffee and cricket are its soul. Excellent tourist facilities and attractions range from leafy parks to handsome colonial towns and neon-lit nightlife. Negril and Montego Bay are Jamaica's two main coastal resorts, attracting tourists with exquisite sands, lively clubs, fine restaurants and world-class golf. Laid-back Negril boasts 7 miles of beach, while sizzling Montego Bay boasts the reputation as party-town. Venture a short distance along the coast to discover 'the real Jamaica', amidst street markets of ackee, yam and breadfruit and vendors hawking kulu kulu rum. Explore the sleepy fishing villages of Treasure Beach, Port Antonio and Oracabessa which offer a glimpse of Jamaica's quieter side. Music is inherent to Jamaica, be it roots, rock or reggae and in Kingston, the island's spirited capital, grand Georgian plazas and elegant mansions are serenaded by soca rhythms and the pulsating buzz of the city. You’ll soon be seduced by the rhythm of life on this famous paradise island. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Bob Marley's death on 11 May 1981, with many celebrations expected in his honour. 4 Events & Nightlife See the list of exciting Events taking place in Jamaica, as well as the varied Nightlife on offer Events All Stages Rally Jamaica From: 02-02-2015 To: 08-02-2015Date Description: Birthday anniversary 6 Feb.

Contact the tourist office in Kingston, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios or Port Antonio. 7 Top Destinations Dunn's River Falls Located in a dense tropical forest, Dunn's River Falls is Jamaica's most famous attraction. This Caribbean paradise consists of a number of waterfalls, which cascade over rock terraces down to the Caribbean Sea below, and beautiful natural pools that have formed in the rockface. The falls are shallow enough to enable visitors to climb the 183m (600ft) limestone tiers to reach a tropical shower, from where they can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. There are beautiful beaches at the bottom of these magnificent falls that are also famous for featuring in the first James Bond film, 'Dr No'. Disabled Access: No 8 Tours & Activities Bob Marley Museum, Kingston As the heart of 'true' Jamaica, Kingston beats the island's rhythm. That rhythm is reggae, and as such, a visit to 56 Hope Road is a must for most, and a pilgrimage for many. This is the city's most visited address. Formerly the home and studio of the legendary Bob Marley, the modest wooden house now serves as both museum and shrine. Treasure Bay Comprising three golden sandy bays on the south of the island, where palm fronds sway, azure waters lap, and local fisherman cruise their colourful boats to fish amongst the cays on the horizon. This is the Jamaican paradise you saw in the brochure before you came. Port Royal Don't miss a chance to visit the Port Royal in Kingston, a fine museum on top of the peninsula bordering Kingston Harbour. It honours Jamaica's ancient capital city, submerged under the sea after an earthquake in 1692. Dolphin-spotting Surrounded by tropical rainforest, Dolphin Cove in Ocho Rios is the largest dolphin natural lagoon home to numerous bottle nose dolphins.

  • Social Baseline
    5.0 SOCIAL BASELINE The Social Impact Area (SIA) for this study was demarcated as two (2) kilometres from the proposed development area. This is outlined in the map below (Fig 5.1). 5.1 Introduction 5.1.1 Methodology Informal interviews were conducted with residents within the communities in the study area. Other questionnaires were also administered to beach goers, vendors and shop keepers and to hoteliers (Appendix 11) and informal interviews with boat tour operators and stakeholders. These were supplemented by holding of focus groups. In addition, windscreen surveys were conducted in the communities to verify and update the information on the maps. Historical socio-economic data was obtained from the 1982 and 1991 population census and the Jamaica Journal. x Population was calculated using the formula [i2 = i1 (1 +p) ]; where i1 = initial population, i2 = final population, p + actual growth rate and x = number of years. Water consumption was calculated based on the assumption that water usage is 227.12 litres/capita/day and sewage generation at 80% of water consumption. Domestic garbage generation was calculated at 0.75 kg/capita/day and garbage generate by the proposed development at 2.3 kg/capita/day. Negril is world renown for its seven miles of white sand beach. The area has grown from its initial stages as an area of community tourism in the early1960s and has since become home to some large hotel chains, some of which are all inclusive. 80 RIU Bloody Bay Hotel EIA CL Environmental Co.
