Jamaica
- Primary attractions
- Royal palm reserve,
Westmoreland parish
- Reggae beach, Ocho Rios
- Blue mountains, east Jamaica
- Problems of Primary
- Social
- People can get paid little money and become
unemployed due to tourism being seasonal. Local
people may not be able to afford tourist places
- Economical
- The money earnt will be decreased as a lot of it will
have to be spent on preserving the damaged
environment. Building developments pressure people
to sell natural land
- Environmental
- Due to overcrowding, land may have eroded land and
creating noise pollution and other habitat damage may have
been caused by exhaust fumes creating air pollution and
litter. Releasing sewage waste has killed 1/3 of Jamaica's
coral reefs
- Secondary attractions
- Jamaica fun fish aquarium,
Kingston
- Putt 'n' play amusement park, New
kingston
- Greenfield stadium, trelawny
- Problems of Secondary
- Environmental
- Over development can cause exhaust fumes polluting the
air and overcrowding leads to erosion and habitat
damage as it results in litter and noise pollution
- Economical
- More food is imported than produced locally and Large TNCs
(Thomas Cook) make most of the money profits go out of Jamaica
into MEDCs (just 7% stays) Jamaica is too dependent (20% of
GDP) on tourism income so if tourist numbers fell economy would
be effected
- Social
- Jobs are often seasonal and are poorly paid. Most money goes
out of the area to big companies, not locals. Culture and
tradition changes as outsiders arrive. Overcrowding and traffic
jams can cause conflict between locals and tourists.
- Solving Primary
attraction problems
Anmerkungen:
- Footpath erosion in Blue
mountains
- Some footpaths are rested using signposts to direct
walkers along alternative routes to allow natural
vegetation to recover
- Sewage
- In Negril, West coast Jamaica there are strict controls on hotels to
control sewage waste. In the Central Blue Mountains Eco lodges &
nature reserves set up to spread tourists further around the Island
instead of in concentrated coastal resorts & to encourage tourists to
value the environment
- Overcrowding, traffic stopping locals
getting to work
- Spread small-scare tourism to other parts of
the island and encouraging visitors to explore
less popular attractions to avoid honey potting
- Solving Secondary
attraction problems
- More food is imported than produced
lovally
- Locals are encouraged to own farms and grow their
own produce to sell to local supermarkets for
everyone (tourist and locals to buy)
- exhaust fumes from people
travelling to secondary attractions
- Advertise eco-tourism and bus travelling to minimise
carbon footprint of each tourist and In the Central Blue
Mountains Eco lodges & nature reserves set up to spread
tourists further around the Island instead of in
concentrated coastal resorts & to encourage tourists to
value the environment
- Culture changes and money going out of the
area to MEDC'S
- Port Antonio reduce conflicts between locals
& tourists by encouraging tourists to stay in
local communities & aims to share culture &
encourage closer links. Also allows money to
go direct to locals, not TNCs
