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

Three Ministers
Three ministers - a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Southern Baptist and their wives were all on a cruise together. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship, and they all drowned. The next thing you know, they're standing before St.Peter.
As fate would have it, the first in line was the Presbyterian and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly and said, "I can't let you in. You were moral and upright, but you loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."
St.Peter waved sadly, and poof! Down the chute to the 'Other Place' they went. Then came the Methodist. "Sorry, can't let you in either," said Saint Peter "You abstained from liquor and dancing and cards, but you loved food too much.
You loved food so much, you even married a woman named Candy!" Sadly, St. Peter waved again, and whang! Down the chute went the Methodists.
The Southern Baptist turned to his wife and whispered nervously, "It ain't looking good, Fanny."
