Ocho Rios, Jamaica | Destination overview
Jamaicans are experts in tourism, as witness the "export" of their expertise. More and more Jamaicans have branched out with hotels and resorts now based in The Bahamas and even Cuba. Foremost among these entrepreneurs are "Butch" Stewart of Sandals fame, John Issa of SuperClubs and Chris Blackwell, music mogul turned hotelier. In Jamaica itself, most of the action is concentrated in Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Negril, the Blue Mountains with its gourmet coffee, and Montego Bay.
