Are you actively writing about Jamaica? In the post-pandemic tourism world, I strongly support sustainable tourism both as a value in itself but also because of what we see happened during that pandemic. Namely certain places (not just Jamaica either) that had their tourism dollar in the mega-resorts and all-inclusives and of course that sector was the one that suffered the most immediately and hugely with the falloff in travel. Other Caribbean countries and economies I have visited have managed to diversify successfully beyond a dependency on all-inclusives, and part of that depends on the attitude and agenda of the island/country's tourism board. They can talk a lot about "sustainable" or smaller special interest travel but at the end of the day their strings are pulled by those who can pull them in the direction they want - namely, mass tourism.

Hello there Hal, I love this conversation that you've started. I started my blog this year so there's still so much I have yet to say about Jamaica. I work in the Jamaican public sector so from a policy and programming angle, I am aware of a few of the ideas for Tourism in Jamaica to pivot, seeing as its a core component of Jamaica's GDP. Community Tourism is on the rise and that's something I hope to dive deeper into in my blog as it evolves.
