Second Thoughts about Jamaica Travel
Why Second Thoughts About Jamaica Travel? My daughter just told me she and her friend were planning a girls getaway trip to Jamaica. My reaction was Wait! What? I'm a Travel Advisor and I get daily news and updates about what is going on in the world of travel. I had just received news that the government had issued a travel advisory to use extreme caution traveling to Jamaica. Of course I warned my daughter. The thought of two women traveling alone frightened me. To my relief they have cancelled the trip to Jamaica and are looking for a safer place to go. So what is going on in Jamaica that would make the U.S. and Canada governments warn travelers to exercise a high degree of caution in Jamaica due to the high level of violent crime? The government of Jamaica has reinstated the state of emergency in 8 parishes due to increased violence and gang related crimes. During this period, security forces have increased rights to conduct searches and seizures. What should you do
