This is not Kansas, or Florida for that matter. Fact is if potential vacationers read that Negril waters have issues with fecal content they would vacation elsewhere. The Caribbean is full of numerous beaches and folks can simply go elsewhere. It is not in the interest of the Tourist Board to test the waters either. It would counterproductive to their mission.
Counterproductive??...........give me a break. Please apply for an assistant moderator job on the other.
Hell no it ain't Kansas and Jamaica has "plenty" of clean beaches. Why do you keep resisting simply stating (on this board) for the health of tourist the river outlet and beaches need to be thoroughly inspected/checked for water quality. I noticed, although I have not been back there in a while to check, you never put anything on the thread about this on the other. Bobby got you scared??? Heck he might come over hear and read??
In my mind if vacationers read there is a problem and tourism drops then actually something might be done to resolve the problem. I just don't see where hiding it helps anyone or Negril. Do you?
To end on a positive note, like you, I would also like to understand what the hotel tax accomplishes other than probably lining someones or some agency's pocket.
