There is also alot of things that do not make the 'headlines' or radio that are happening...I am not saying in Negril only...I hope for better but I do not see it unless something divine intervenes.
And I have said this before and gotten reemed for it way back-my opinion is that tourism does not 'help' an area. Handouts do not 'help' people all the time. It causes one to look like the money train. Helping with a legitamate need or health visit or send a kid to school is not what I mean. It is the unloading of personal gifts because you want to make yourself feel good too.
There will be a message board in 10 years describing what TB is like today versus what it was like days gone by. Tourism will change it. In some ways it has to a degree if you ask persons that own homes there or spend time there from when they were kids. So my friends say anyway.
