Jamaica Tours, Guides and Vacations

There have been many conversations had about the many similarities and the many differences between Haiti and Jamaica and I myself have used it as an example of why Jamaicans should care for their all important tourist industry by supporting local business and making sure more of the tourist money stays in Jamaica.

On occasion I have found myself stating that Jamaica is not so far from being just like Haiti a few more bad tourist seasons will certainly hold the country in poverty. Today we can see one of the great differences when you consider just how unlucky Haiti has been in recent times. Jamaica has it’s problems but for now Jamaicans should give thanks they are not Haitian.

Haiti must be the one of the saddest and strangest stories there is. Haiti has the kind of problems that normally only exist in the poorest regions of Africa and for being so close to the richest nation in the world they are poor beyond the imagination of many Jamaicans even. How can they ever overcome their latest and doubtless greatest tragedy? With the help of all humanity. From Americans to Jamaicans and all other nationalities we as humans must recognize the suffering our fellow humans are enduring and we must act now.

We are asking those interested to join us in supporting Yele Haiti by doing one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can click here to DONATE.
