Jamaican Gambling.

  Jamaica has just formed a commission that has taken the decision to legalise gambling on the island.
   Speaking at the Jamaica Product Exchange conference in Montego Bay, Edmund Bartlett told delegates that within six months the new commission will invite hotels on the island to apply for gaming licenses.
  Mr Bartlett commented that casinos were a natural development in Jamaica’s continuing tourism renaissance.
  Plans include developing casinos alongside the existing Palmyra resort at Rose Hall and with sites along the southern and eastern coasts also being considered.
  Mr. Bartlett however did comment that casinos ‘would not be allowed to exceed 20% of any planned development’, so anyone hoping for a tropical Las Vegas will have to wait a little longer I’m afraid.
  So what are your thoughts? Will this add an exciting new dimension to Jamaican holidays and cruises or spoil one of your favourite tropical destinations? Make sure you let me know.

Happy Cruising.
