Traveling to Jamaica in 2019 | FACTS YOU BETTER KNOW!
Greetings, Travelers! Welcome back to Traveling-Guru where we take an insider look at travel and tourism. I’m your host Dennis Foutz and if you haven’t already done so, please subscribe to this YouTube channel.
This week we are discovering Jamaica! Jamaicans are very proud of their island and their people. “Out of Many One People” In today’s insider video, you will begin to see, what I see, and deepen your understanding of this island nation, you will see why and understand why so many visitors return year after year.
This is a several part series and you’ve tuned into Jamaica’s Fast Facts!, Creative Accomodations
*All-Inclusive Resort. It was Jamaica the pioneered the all-inclusive concept and continues to perfect it with client-delighting features like butler service and swim-up rooms.
*Villa Rentals. It was Jamaica, too, that developed the villa rental concept in the Caribbean, and today’s rentals villas range from beachside cottages to full-on estates with butlers, chauffeurs, and chefs.
*Boutique hotels. Although Jamaica didn’t invent boutique hotels, Jamaica believes they are among the most original and wonderful in the world, with everything from tree houses to mountainside huts.
Natural Diversity
Between Jamaica’s high mountain peeks and its offshore coral shelf, nature has worked her own inspired magic, creating hundreds of species found nowhere else on earth. This makes the island a magnet for birdwatchers, divers, and even scientists.
Shores. Jamaica has long stretches of watersports-friendly, postcard perfect white sand beaches, but it also has black volcanic sands and dramatic cliff-framed coves.
Inland. Jungle-like mountains and mangrove forests are laced with racing rivers, waterfalls and healing hot springs.
Amazing Adventures. While carefully preserving the gifts of nature, Jamaica continues to unleash their creativity by finding new ways for visitors to enjoy their country’s beauty. Iconic adventures such as climbing Dunn’s River Falls or rafting down the Rio Grande have been joined by ziplining and flying through the jungle canopy on a roller coaster, challenging the Cockpit Country’s nearly 300 caves and explorations on mountain bikes, horseback or camel.
Rich History. For visitors, Jamaica’s rich heritage comes alive as you tour plantation great houses, historic sites, and rural mountain villages where the unique culture of the Maroons is shared through drumming and storytelling. Jamaica’s beach towns have their own stories as well, from Errol Flynn’s wild Hollywood parties on Navy Island off Port Antonio and the posh pampering of the 50s jetsetters in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, or Negril’s flower children days.
The Vibe. One of Jamaica’s best known exports is reggae, the soundtrack to many Jamaican experiences, and the music many carry home with them as souvenirs. Reggae is celebrated in many festivals throughout the year, including Reggae Sumfest and Rebel Salute. Enthusiasts can visit the childhood and adult home of legendary reggae artiste Bob Marley, who’s credited for bringing reggae music to the world.

A time-lapse video of the Carnival Sunshine cruise ship as she pulls in to Montego Bay, Jamaica. Shot with a Canon T5i Digital Rebel.
My apologies... I shot this through the picture window of the Captain's Suite at the front of the ship. All the water spots and dirt on the window are quite visible. I think it's still an interesting video, though!
