Follow up:
‘Way to go Jamaica’, if over 2 million people says we are the best then it must be so. Tourism is a major ‘bread and butter’ industry for us. With most of our other main income earners banana, sugar and bauxite in trouble it’s good to know that there is still hope for our country.
Despite all the negatives that we have been experiencing tourist are still coming to our island and having a great time when they get here. That means most of us must be doing something right. Tourism after all is dependent not on a few but an entire nation. What ever line of work you do it affects tourism directly or indirectly.
After a ‘rough’ summer due to the busy hurricane season we all look forward to a good winter season. Hopefully these awards will bring us more business as everybody wants the best. It’s up to all Jamaicans to ensure that we not only maintain but improve on our tourism product.
Nuff Love

The Small Sandal Shop
A married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods when they passed this small sandal shop.
From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You!
Foreigners! Come in, come into my humble shop."
So the married couple walked in.
The Jamaican said to them, "I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in. They make you wild at sex."
Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was.
The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a sex freak?"
The Jamaican replied, "Just try them on."
Well, the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many years!
In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him
violently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants,and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's hips.
The Jamaican then began screaming; "YOU GOT THEM ON THE WRONG FEET!!!"
