[ Original writting ]The Jamaica Environmental Trust released "Jamaica for Sale," a 92 minute video documentary highlighting disturbing issues behind the island's normally rosy sun, sea and sand tourism image.
The video features the faces and voices of Caribbean personalities' talking about the wake of a burst of construction of mega-hotels across Jamaica's coastline. The film shows how gains from tourism development come at a high price to the people. Moreover, local people are being cut off, penned in and denied their voice - all in the name of tourism development. The video set a major emphasis on the "FACTs" of Tourism DEVELOPEMENT!
