About Jamaica’s beaches, really?

 


 

Less than 1% of Jamaica’s coastline is accessible to the public.

How so?

One case study: A hotel brand buys a plot of land in a fishing community and then builds its establishment. 

During their construction, instead of leaving paths for the local fisherfolk and community to continue accessing the beach and sea, they built a wall. Cutting off long-established routes for families to make “honest bread”.

Kindness from the hotel brand could have solved the matter while doing good for the Jamaican people, whose welcoming energy their hotel benefits from. 

Access points for the local fishing community could have been included in their landscaping plans. 

How to solve this problem?

I will start by having a conversation with the Executive Chairman, and Director of Marketing and Public Relations, of the hotel brand, to see how we can collaborate on creating change, together. 

I will bring some tangerines, mangoes, guinep, papaya, grapefruit, jelly coconuts, and cherries, from up country, in a gift basket to share.

Time, to create our new futures.
