  I'm

  your

  Pauline
• 0:25
  Fromer.
• 0:26
  We
• 0:26
  have
• 0:27
  a
• 0:27
  very
• 0:27
  exciting
• 0:28
  show
• 0:28
  today
• 0:29
  because
• 0:30
  on
• 0:30
  the
• 0:30
  line
• 0:31
  I
• 0:31
  have
• 0:32
  the

  Honorable

• 0:35
  He

  the

  of

  for
• 0:37
  the
• 0:38
  beautiful
• 0:38
  island
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  Jamaica.
• 0:40
  Minister
• 0:41
  Bartlett,
• 0:42
  welcome
• 0:42
  to
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  Fromer
• 0:43
  Travel
• 0:43
  Show.
• 0:44
  Thank
• 0:44
  you.
• 0:44
  I'm
• 0:45
  so
• 0:45
  excited
• 0:45
  about
• 0:46
  engagement
• 0:47
  with
• 0:47
  you
• 0:47
  today
• 0:48
  and
• 0:48
  certainly
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  opportunity
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  speak
• 0:50
  to
• 0:51
  your
• 0:51
  wider
• 0:51
  audience
• 0:52
  across
• 0:53
  the
• 0:53
  US
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  elsewhere.
• 0:54
  Well,
• 0:55
  speaking
• 0:56
  about
• 0:56
  that
• 0:56
  audience,
• 0:57
  let's
• 0:58
  address
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  elephant
• 0:59
  in
• 0:59
  the
• 0:59
  room
• 1:00
  first.
• 1:00
  I
• 1:00
  think
• 1:01
  some
• 1:01
  of
• 1:01
  them
• 1:02
  may
• 1:02
  be
• 1:02
  surprised
• 1:03
  that
• 1:03
  we're
• 1:03
  speaking
• 1:03
  today
• 1:05
  because
• 1:05
  they
• 1:05
  know
• 1:05
  that
• 1:06
  Jamaica
• 1:06
  had
• 1:06
  a
• 1:07
  terrible
• 1:07
  hurricane
• 1:08
  just
• 1:08
  this
• 1:09
  past
• 1:09
  fall.
• 1:10
  I
• 1:10
  think
• 1:10
  it
• 1:10
  was
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  third
• 1:11
  most
• 1:11
  intense
• 1:12
  hurricane
• 1:13
  ever
• 1:13
  to
• 1:13
  hit
• 1:13
  the
• 1:14
  Caribbean.
• 1:15
  So
• 1:15
  they
• 1:15
  may
• 1:15
  be
• 1:15
  thinking,
• 1:16
  why
• 1:17
  are
• 1:17
  we
• 1:17
  talking
• 1:17
  about
• 1:18
  Jamaica
• 1:18
  now?
• 1:19
  Can
• 1:19
  you
• 1:19
  visit
• 1:20
  Jamaica?
• 1:21
  Shouldn't
• 1:21
  this
• 1:21
  conversation
• 1:22
  be
• 1:22
  happening,
• 1:23
  say,
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  year
• 1:24
  from
• 1:24
  now?
• 1:25
  So
• 1:25
  how
• 1:25
  is
• 1:25
  Jamaica
• 1:26
  doing?
• 1:27
  Well,
• 1:27
  Very
• 1:27
  well,
• 1:28
  actually.
• 1:28
  We
• 1:28
  have
• 1:29
  made
• 1:29
  a
• 1:29
  remarkable
• 1:30
  recovery
• 1:30
  following
• 1:31
  Hurricane
• 1:31
  Melissa.
• 1:32
  And
• 1:33
  that
• 1:33
  is
• 1:33
  a
• 1:33
  testament,
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  course,
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  the
• 1:35
  resilience
• 1:36
  of
• 1:36
  our
• 1:37
  tourism
• 1:37
  sector
• 1:38
  and
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  dedication
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  our
• 1:40
  Jamaican
• 1:40
  people.
• 1:41
  Through
• 1:41
  strong
• 1:42
  collaboration
• 1:42
  between
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  public
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  private
• 1:45
  sectors,
• 1:45
  we
• 1:46
  restored
• 1:46
  tourism
• 1:47
  operation
• 1:47
  by
• 1:48
  December
• 1:48
  15,
• 1:49
  which
• 1:49
  was
• 1:49
  a
• 1:50
  record
• 1:50
  period
• 1:50
  we
• 1:51
  had
• 1:51
  coming
• 1:52
  out
• 1:52
  of,
• 1:52
  as
• 1:53
  you
• 1:53
  said.
• 1:54
  And
• 1:54
  perhaps
• 1:54
  I
• 1:55
  should
• 1:55
  correct
• 1:55
  you
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  little
• 1:56
  bit
• 1:56
  that
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  third
• 1:58
  worst
• 1:58
  hurricane
• 1:59
  is
• 1:59
  actually
• 1:59
  the
• 2:00
  worst,
• 2:01
  a
• 2:02
  category
• 2:02
  5
• 2:02
  plus
• 2:03
  plus,
• 2:04
  so
• 2:04
  much
• 2:04
  so
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  our
• 2:06
  meteorologists
• 2:07
  now
• 2:07
  have
• 2:07
  retired
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  name
• 2:08
  Melissa.
• 2:09
  And
• 2:09
  they
• 2:10
  say
• 2:10
  there'll
• 2:10
  be
• 2:10
  no
• 2:10
  more
• 2:11
  Hurricane
• 2:11
  Melissa,
• 2:12
  oh,
• 2:12
  my
• 2:12
  goodness,
• 2:13
  in
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  future
• 2:14
  because
• 2:14
  of
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  effect,
• 2:16
  impact
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  the
• 2:18
  sheer
• 2:18
  intensity
• 2:20
  of
• 2:20
  that
• 2:21
  weather
• 2:21
  system.
• 2:22
  So
• 2:22
  in
• 2:23
  six
• 2:23
  weeks
• 2:23
  after,
• 2:25
  we
• 2:25
  were
• 2:25
  able
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  invite
• 2:27
  international
• 2:28
  visitors
• 2:28
  back
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  Jamaica,
• 2:30
  and
• 2:30
  we
• 2:30
  opened
• 2:31
  with
• 2:31
  70%
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  our
• 2:33
  room
• 2:33
  stock.
• 2:34
  And
• 2:35
  since
• 2:35
  then,
• 2:36
  we
• 2:36
  are
• 2:36
  now
• 2:36
  at
• 2:37
  80%
• 2:38
  of
• 2:39
  our
• 2:39
  visitor
• 2:39
  arrivals
• 2:40
  for
• 2:41
  last
• 2:41
  year
• 2:42
  in
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  month
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  March.
• 2:43
  And
• 2:44
  we
• 2:45
  are
• 2:45
  looking
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  complete
• 2:47
  the
• 2:48
  renovation
• 2:49
  of
• 2:49
  all
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  rooms
• 2:50
  that
• 2:51
  were
• 2:51
  affected
• 2:52
  by
• 2:52
  December
• 2:52
  of
• 2:53
  this
• 2:53
  year.
• 2:54
  And
• 2:55
  this
• 2:55
  is
• 2:56
  obviously
• 2:56
  a
• 2:56
  testament
• 2:57
  to
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  hard
• 2:58
  work
• 2:58
  of
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  people
• 2:59
  of
• 2:59
  Jamaica,
• 2:59
  but
• 2:59
  it
• 2:59
  also
• 3:00
  speaks
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  fact
• 3:01
  that
• 3:01
  Jamaica,
• 3:02
  I
• 3:03
  should
• 3:03
  have
• 3:03
  said
• 3:03
  the
• 3:04
  third
• 3:04
  largest
• 3:05
  island
• 3:06
  in
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  Caribbean,
• 3:07
  not
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  third
• 3:07
  biggest
• 3:08
  hurricane,
• 3:08
  because
• 3:09
  Jamaica
• 3:10
  is
• 3:10
  huge.
• 3:11
  And
• 3:11
  so
• 3:11
  even
• 3:12
  with
• 3:12
  a
• 3:13
  storm
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  this
• 3:14
  magnitude
• 3:14
  hitting
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  island,
• 3:16
  not
• 3:16
  all
• 3:17
  areas
• 3:17
  were
• 3:18
  affected
• 3:18
  in
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  same
• 3:19
  way.
• 3:20
  And
• 3:20
  so
• 3:21
  right
• 3:21
  after
• 3:21
  the
• 3:22
  hurricane,
• 3:22
  there
• 3:22
  were
• 3:23
  certain
• 3:23
  places
• 3:24
  that
• 3:24
  probably
• 3:25
  were
• 3:25
  already
• 3:26
  ready
• 3:26
  to
• 3:27
  see
• 3:27
  visitors.
• 3:28
  Right,
• 3:29
  Right.
• 3:29
  So
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  third
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  country
• 3:32
  was
• 3:32
  impacted,
• 3:33
  as
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  know,
• 3:34
  on
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  western
• 3:35
  side.
• 3:35
  But
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  rest
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  country,
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  city,
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  main
• 3:38
  city,
• 3:38
  Kingston,
• 3:38
  was
• 3:39
  fully
• 3:39
  intact.
• 3:40
  The
• 3:40
  Port
• 3:40
  Antonio
• 3:41
  Ocho
• 3:42
  Reyes
• 3:42
  and
• 3:43
  areas
• 3:44
  in
• 3:44
  the
• 3:45
  middle
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  the
• 3:46
  island
• 3:46
  were
• 3:47
  all
• 3:47
  not
• 3:47
  affected.
• 3:48
  So
• 3:48
  where
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  impact
• 3:49
  was
• 3:50
  was
• 3:50
  on
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  Western
• 3:51
  side,
• 3:51
  Montego
• 3:52
  Bay,
• 3:53
  Negril
• 3:53
  and
• 3:54
  Treasure
• 3:55
  beach
• 3:55
  area.
• 3:56
  So
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  good
• 3:57
  news
• 3:57
  is
• 3:58
  that
• 3:58
  we
• 3:58
  have
• 3:59
  restored
• 4:00
  significantly
• 4:01
  all
• 4:01
  our
• 4:02
  infrastructure
• 4:03
  are
• 4:03
  back.
• 4:03
  Airports
• 4:04
  are
• 4:04
  in
• 4:04
  good
• 4:05
  shape,
• 4:05
  fully.
• 4:06
  Electricity
• 4:07
  fully,
• 4:07
  water
• 4:08
  fully.
• 4:08
  The
• 4:09
  road
• 4:09
  networks
• 4:10
  back
• 4:10
  full,
• 4:10
  fully
• 4:11
  in
• 4:11
  shape.
• 4:11
  But
• 4:12
  because
• 4:12
  we
• 4:12
  lost
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  significant
• 4:14
  portion
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  built
• 4:16
  environment
• 4:16
  in
• 4:17
  the
• 4:18
  interior
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  those
• 4:19
  communities,
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  know,
• 4:21
  settlements
• 4:21
  and
• 4:22
  so
• 4:22
  on,
• 4:22
  we
• 4:22
  are
• 4:22
  now
• 4:22
  working
• 4:23
  on
• 4:23
  building
• 4:23
  back
• 4:24
  roofs
• 4:24
  and
• 4:25
  getting
• 4:25
  houses
• 4:26
  back
• 4:26
  in
• 4:27
  full
• 4:28
  shape.
• 4:28
  But
• 4:29
  insofar
• 4:29
  as
• 4:30
  our
• 4:30
  tourism
• 4:30
  is
• 4:31
  concerned,
• 4:31
  we
• 4:31
  have
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  very
• 4:32
  strong
• 4:32
  year
• 4:32
  ahead
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  us
• 4:34
  so
• 4:34
  far.
• 4:34
  As
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  said,
• 4:35
  we've
• 4:35
  restored
• 4:35
  up
• 4:35
  to
• 4:36
  80%.
• 4:37
  We
• 4:37
  have
• 4:37
  increased
• 4:38
  airlifts,
• 4:38
  we
• 4:39
  have
• 4:39
  more
• 4:40
  flights
• 4:40
  coming
• 4:40
  out
• 4:41
  of
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  US
• 4:42
  Southwest
• 4:42
  is
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  launch
• 4:43
  new
• 4:44
  non
• 4:44
  stop
• 4:44
  flights
• 4:45
  from
• 4:45
  Nashville
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  Montego
• 4:46
  Bay.
• 4:46
  In
• 4:47
  March,
• 4:47
  Breeze
• 4:48
  Airways
• 4:50
  will
• 4:50
  begin
• 4:51
  international
• 4:51
  route
• 4:52
  to
• 4:52
  Montego
• 4:52
  Bay
• 4:53
  with
• 4:53
  services
• 4:54
  from
• 4:54
  Tampa
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  then
• 4:55
  also
• 4:56
  from
• 4:56
  Raleigh.
• 4:57
  So
• 4:57
  we
• 4:57
  are
• 4:57
  opening
• 4:58
  new
• 4:58
  gateways
• 4:59
  in
• 4:59
  the
• 5:00
  United
• 5:00
  States.
• 5:00
  We
• 5:01
  have
• 5:01
  also
• 5:01
  welcomed
• 5:01
  continued
• 5:02
  record
• 5:02
  breaking
• 5:03
  growth
• 5:03
  in
• 5:03
  visitor
• 5:04
  arrivals
• 5:04
  from
• 5:05
  Latin
• 5:05
  America.
• 5:07
  That's
• 5:07
  a
• 5:07
  big
• 5:07
  new
• 5:07
  era.
• 5:08
  Expanded
• 5:09
  air
• 5:09
  capacity.
• 5:10
  We're
• 5:10
  expecting
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  get
• 5:12
  about
• 5:13
  six
• 5:13
  flights
• 5:13
  out
• 5:14
  of
• 5:14
  Colombia,
• 5:15
  expanded
• 5:16
  flight
• 5:16
  arrangement
• 5:17
  from
• 5:17
  Copa
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  Brazil,
• 5:20
  and
• 5:21
  we
• 5:21
  are
• 5:21
  also
• 5:22
  expecting
• 5:23
  in
• 5:23

  expanded

  arrangements
• 5:26
  out
• 5:26
  of
• 5:27
  Canada
• 5:27
  and
• 5:28
  Europe.
• 5:29
  So
• 5:30
  why
• 5:31
  go
• 5:31
  to
• 5:31
  Jamaica?
• 5:32
  I
• 5:32
  have
• 5:33
  my
• 5:33
  own
• 5:33
  answers.
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  think
• 5:34
  that
• 5:35
  Jamaica
• 5:36
  is,
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  this
• 5:37
  is
• 5:39
  maybe
• 5:39
  an
• 5:40
  arguable
• 5:40
  thing
• 5:40
  to
• 5:41
  say,
• 5:42
  but
• 5:42
  it
• 5:42
  has
• 5:42
  the
• 5:43
  most
• 5:44
  piquant,
• 5:45
  exciting
• 5:46
  culture,
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  think,
• 5:48
  of
• 5:48
  any
• 5:48
  of
• 5:48
  the
• 5:49
  Caribbean
• 5:49
  islands.
• 5:50
  I
• 5:50
  mean,
• 5:50
  you're
• 5:50
  the
• 5:51
  home
• 5:51
  of
• 5:51
  reggae.
• 5:52
  You
• 5:52
  have
• 5:52
  this
• 5:53
  extraordinary
• 5:54
  cuisine.
• 5:54
  I
• 5:55
  would
• 5:55
  go
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  Jamaica
• 5:56
  just
• 5:56
  to
• 5:56
  eat
• 5:57
  ackee.
• 5:58
  Ackee
• 5:58
  is
• 5:59
  this
• 5:59
  incredible.
• 6:01
  It's
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  fruit
• 6:02
  that
• 6:02
  looks
• 6:03
  like
• 6:03
  a
• 6:03
  brain.
• 6:04
  It's
• 6:04
  this
• 6:04
  little
• 6:05
  white
• 6:05
  fruit
• 6:05
  and
• 6:06
  when
• 6:06
  you
• 6:07
  cook
• 6:07
  it
• 6:07
  up,
• 6:07
  it
• 6:07
  tastes
• 6:08
  like
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  creamiest
• 6:09
  eggs
• 6:10
  you've
• 6:11
  ever,
• 6:11
  ever
• 6:12
  tasted.
• 6:13
  It's
• 6:13
  really
• 6:13
  extraordinary
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  in
• 6:16
  fact
• 6:17
  it
• 6:17
  is
• 6:17
  unique
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  Jamaica.
• 6:19
  Yes.
• 6:20
  In
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  Jamaica
• 6:21
  is
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  only
• 6:22
  country
• 6:22
  where
• 6:23
  that
• 6:23
  fruit
• 6:24
  is
• 6:25
  prepared
• 6:25
  the
• 6:26
  way
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  is
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  becomes
• 6:28
  part
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  cuisine
• 6:30
  of
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  country.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:32
  that's
• 6:32
  fantastic.
• 6:33
  But
• 6:34
  you
• 6:34
  know,
• 6:34
  you
• 6:34
  ask
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  question
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  there's
• 6:36
  so
• 6:36
  many
• 6:36
  exciting
• 6:37
  things
• 6:37
  that
• 6:37
  are
• 6:38
  happening
• 6:38
  in
• 6:38
  Jamaica,
• 6:39
  major
• 6:39
  events
• 6:39
  that
• 6:40
  are
• 6:40
  coming
• 6:40
  up
• 6:40
  to
• 6:41
  excite
• 6:41
  the
• 6:42
  interest
• 6:42
  of
• 6:42
  visitors
• 6:43
  around
• 6:44
  this
• 6:44
  period
• 6:44
  and
• 6:45
  into
• 6:45
  summer.
• 6:45
  We
• 6:46
  have
• 6:46
  Carnival,
• 6:47
  which
• 6:47
  is

• 6:49
  parades
• 6:50
  and
• 6:51
  music
• 6:51
  and
• 6:52
  entertainment.
• 6:53
  And
• 6:53
  that
• 6:54
  doesn't
• 6:54
  happen.
• 6:54
  Does
• 6:55
  that
• 6:55
  happen
• 6:55
  around
• 6:55
  Easter
• 6:56
  or
• 6:56
  when
• 6:56

• 6:57
  that?
• 6:57
  Yes,
• 6:57
  April
• 6:58
  8th
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  14th.
• 7:00
  Yeah,
• 7:00
  just
• 7:01
  a
• 7:01
  little
• 7:01
  after
• 7:02
  Easter.
• 7:02
  You
• 7:02
  know,
• 7:03
  we
• 7:03
  want.
• 7:03
  And
• 7:03
  is
• 7:03
  that,
• 7:04
  is

  that
• 7:04
  all
• 7:04

  island
• 7:05
  or
• 7:06
  just
• 7:06

• 7:06
  Kingston?
• 7:07
  And
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  said
• 7:07
  it
• 7:07
  was
• 7:08
  mainly
• 7:09
  in
• 7:09
  Kingston
• 7:09
  for
• 7:10
  this
• 7:10
  one.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:10
  then
• 7:11
  we
• 7:11
  have
• 7:11
  the
• 7:12
  dream
• 7:12
  weekend
• 7:13
  which
• 7:13
  will
• 7:13
  be
• 7:13
  in

  Montego
• 7:14
  Bay.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:15
  then
• 7:15
  Reggae
• 7:16
  Sunfest
• 7:17
  which
• 7:17
  is
• 7:17

• 7:18
  that
• 7:18

  area
• 7:22
  near
• 7:22
  Ocho
• 7:22
  Rios.
• 7:23
  So
• 7:24
  before
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  go
• 7:24
  away,
• 7:25
  what
• 7:25
  is
• 7:25
  Dream
• 7:26
  Weekend?
• 7:27
  Dream
• 7:28
  Weekend
• 7:28
  is
• 7:28
  an
• 7:28
  exciting
• 7:29
  series
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  parties
• 7:32
  and
• 7:33
  entertainment
• 7:34
  primarily
• 7:35
  for
• 7:35
  the
• 7:35
  younger
• 7:36
  folks.
• 7:36
  You
• 7:36
  know,
• 7:37
  it's
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  whole
• 7:38
  period
• 7:38
  of
• 7:39
  absolute
• 7:39
  indulgence
• 7:40
  in
• 7:41
  reggae
• 7:42
  music.
• 7:42
  Music
• 7:42
  of
• 7:43
  all
• 7:43
  types,
• 7:43
  really.
• 7:44
  Food,
• 7:45
  you
• 7:45
  know,
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  drink
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  general
• 7:46
  camaraderie
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  excitement
• 7:48
  among
• 7:48
  young
• 7:48
  people.
• 7:49
  Well,
• 7:50
  that's
• 7:50
  cool.
• 7:51
  Beyond
• 7:51
  that,
• 7:52
  we
• 7:52
  have
• 7:53
  Food
• 7:53
  and
• 7:53
  Drink
• 7:54
  Festival.
• 7:55
  We
• 7:55
  also
• 7:55
  have
• 7:55
  the
• 7:56
  Coffee
• 7:56
  Festival,
• 7:57
  we
• 7:57
  have
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  Rum
• 7:58
  Festival
• 7:58
  and
• 7:59
  a
• 7:59
  whole
• 7:59
  series
• 7:59
  of
• 7:59
  festivals
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  happen.
• 8:01
  And
• 8:01
  then
• 8:01
  there's
• 8:01
  a
• 8:02
  Calabash
• 8:02
  Literary
• 8:03
  Festival
• 8:03
  on
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  south
• 8:04
  coast.
• 8:05
  So
• 8:05
  there's
• 8:05
  a
• 8:06
  lot
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  things
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  anticipate
• 8:07
  in
• 8:08
  coming
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  Jamaica.
• 8:09
  So
• 8:10
  I'm
• 8:10
  hoping
• 8:10
  that
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  Rum
• 8:11
  Festival
• 8:12
  happens.
• 8:12
  The
• 8:13
  Rum
• 8:13
  Festival
• 8:13
  happens
• 8:14
  first
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  then
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  have
• 8:15
  the
• 8:16
  Coffee
• 8:16
  festival.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:17
  you
• 8:18
  sleep
• 8:19
  it
• 8:19
  off.
• 8:19
  You
• 8:19
  can
• 8:20
  be
• 8:20
  awake
• 8:20
  again.
• 8:20
  You
• 8:21
  can
• 8:21
  be
• 8:21
  awake.
• 8:23
  And
• 8:23
  then
• 8:23
  of
• 8:23
  course,
• 8:23
  after
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  you
• 8:24
  can
• 8:24
  have
• 8:24
  the
• 8:24
  pairing
• 8:25
  with
• 8:26
  coffee
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  various
• 8:27
  different
• 8:27
  types
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  foods.
• 8:28
  So,
• 8:28
  you
• 8:28
  know.
• 8:29
  Yeah,
• 8:29
  I
• 8:30
  don't
• 8:30
  think
• 8:30
  people
• 8:30
  know
• 8:31
  that
• 8:31
  Jamaica
• 8:32
  has
• 8:32
  such
• 8:33
  an
• 8:33
  important
• 8:33
  coffee
• 8:34
  culture.
• 8:34
  And
• 8:35
  this
• 8:36
  is
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  type
• 8:36
  of
• 8:37
  food
• 8:37
  stuff
• 8:38
  that
• 8:38
  is
• 8:38
  endangered
• 8:39
  because
• 8:40
  of
• 8:40
  climate
• 8:40
  change.
• 8:41
  So
• 8:42
  tell
• 8:42
  me
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  little
• 8:42
  bit
• 8:42
  more
• 8:43
  about
• 8:43
  Jamaican
• 8:44
  coffee
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  what
• 8:45
  makes
• 8:45
  it
• 8:45
  so
• 8:45
  interesting.
• 8:46
  And
• 8:46
  if
• 8:46
  people.
• 8:46
  First
• 8:47
  of
• 8:47
  all,
• 8:47
  Jamaican
• 8:48
  Blue
• 8:48
  Mountain
• 8:49
  Coffee
• 8:49
  is
• 8:50
  premium
• 8:50
  coffee.
• 8:51
  It
• 8:51
  is
• 8:51
  among
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  top
• 8:53
  rated
• 8:54
  quality
• 8:55
  coffee
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  the
• 8:56
  world.
• 8:56
  And
• 8:57
  it
• 8:57
  is
• 8:58
  occasioned
• 8:58
  by
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  very
• 8:59
  special
• 9:00
  geophysical
• 9:01
  feature.
• 9:02
  It
• 9:02
  grows
• 9:03
  primarily
• 9:04
  on
• 9:04
  Blue
• 9:05
  Mountain
• 9:05
  of
• 9:06
  Jamaica,
• 9:06
  which
• 9:07
  is
• 9:07
  7,000
• 9:09
  odd
• 9:09
  feet
• 9:10
  in
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  air,
• 9:11
  right?
• 9:11
  That's
• 9:12
  just
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  little
• 9:13
  over
• 9:13
  three
• 9:14
  under
• 9:14
  three
• 9:14
  meters.
• 9:16
  Yes.
• 9:17
  So
• 9:18
  we
• 9:18
  have
• 9:19
  cloud
• 9:20
  cover
• 9:21
  at
• 9:21
  that
• 9:22
  height,
• 9:23
  which
• 9:23
  enables
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  moisture
• 9:27
  from
• 9:27
  that
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  be
• 9:28
  imbued
• 9:29
  on
• 9:29
  the
• 9:30
  plants
• 9:31
  and
• 9:31
  it
• 9:31
  enable
• 9:32
  a
• 9:32
  very
• 9:33
  rich
• 9:34
  and
• 9:35
  powerful
• 9:35
  flavor
• 9:37
  that
• 9:37
  comes
• 9:38
  from
• 9:38
  that
• 9:39
  coffee
• 9:39
  at
• 9:39
  that
• 9:40
  height.
• 9:41
  So
• 9:41
  it
• 9:41
  is
• 9:42
  a
• 9:42
  unique
• 9:42
  feature.
• 9:43
  Very
• 9:44
  few
• 9:44
  places
• 9:44
  in
• 9:44
  the
• 9:45
  world
• 9:45
  has
• 9:45
  that,
• 9:45
  if
• 9:46
  any.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:47
  we
• 9:47
  benefit
• 9:47
  from
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  fact
• 9:48
  that
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  have
• 9:50
  microclimates
• 9:51
  there.
• 9:52
  So
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  plant
• 9:54
  grows
• 9:54
  in
• 9:54
  a
• 9:55
  special
• 9:55
  way,
• 9:55
  the
• 9:56
  beans
• 9:56
  are
• 9:57
  matured
• 9:57
  in
• 9:58
  a
• 9:58
  special
• 9:58
  way,
• 9:58
  and
• 9:59
  they
• 9:59
  maintain
• 10:00
  a
• 10:00
  certain
• 10:01
  level
• 10:01
  of
• 10:01
  texture
• 10:02
  and
• 10:02
  quality
• 10:03
  and
• 10:03

• 10:04
  So
• 10:05
  we
• 10:05
  see
• 10:06
  our
• 10:06
  Blue
• 10:07
  Mountain
• 10:07
  Coffee
• 10:07
  I
• 10:08
  as

  being
• 10:09
  a

  special
• 10:10
  asset
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  country.
• 10:12
  And
• 10:13
  it
• 10:13
  is
• 10:14
  a
• 10:14
  geophysical
• 10:15
  feature
• 10:16
  that
• 10:16
  is
• 10:18
  making
• 10:18
  a
• 10:19
  demand
• 10:19
  in
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  global
• 10:20
  space
• 10:21
  that
• 10:21
  we
• 10:22
  are
• 10:22
  unable
• 10:22
  to
• 10:22
  even
• 10:23
  supply.
• 10:24
  We
• 10:24
  just
• 10:25
  have
• 10:26
  not
• 10:26
  been
• 10:26
  able
• 10:26
  to
• 10:27
  supply
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  demand
• 10:28
  for
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  Blue
• 10:29
  Mountain
• 10:29
  Coffee.
• 10:29
  But
• 10:30
  you'll
• 10:30
  get
• 10:30
  it
• 10:30
  in
• 10:30
  Jamaica.
• 10:31
  And
• 10:31
  are
• 10:31
  there
• 10:32
  visits
• 10:33
  to
• 10:33
  plantations
• 10:34
  so
• 10:34
  one
• 10:34
  can
• 10:35
  see
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  whole
• 10:35
  process?
• 10:36
  Yes,
• 10:37
  absolutely.
• 10:37
  There
• 10:37
  are
• 10:38
  tours
• 10:38
  that
• 10:38
  are
• 10:38
  arranged
• 10:39
  and
• 10:40
  then
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  could
• 10:40
  also.
• 10:41
  We
• 10:41
  establish
• 10:42
  a

• 10:45
  That
• 10:46
  while
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  are
• 10:46
  driving
• 10:47
  from

  up
• 10:48
  into

  the

• 10:49
  there
• 10:49
  you
• 10:50
  can
• 10:50
  benefit

  from

  these
• 10:52
  very
• 10:52
  powerful

  eateries
• 10:53
  that
• 10:53
  are
• 10:53
  established
• 10:54
  along
• 10:54
  the
• 10:54
  way
• 10:55
  as
• 10:55
  you
• 10:55
  go
• 10:55
  up
• 10:55
  and
• 10:56
  then
• 10:56
  you
• 10:56
  have
• 10:56
  a
• 10:57
  number
• 10:57
  of
• 10:57
  plantations
• 10:58
  there
• 10:59
  that
• 10:59
  you
• 10:59
  could
• 11:00
  tour.
• 11:00
  You
• 11:00
  could
• 11:00
  see
• 11:01
  how
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  beans
• 11:02
  they
• 11:02
  are
• 11:02
  processed.
• 11:03
  You
• 11:03
  could
• 11:03
  see
• 11:04
  how
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  farmers
• 11:05
  actually
• 11:05
  operate
• 11:06
  in
• 11:06
  planting
• 11:07
  and
• 11:07
  in,
• 11:08
  in
• 11:08
  caring
• 11:09
  and
• 11:09
  culturing
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  crop.
• 11:10
  And
• 11:11
  then
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  reaping
• 11:12
  process
• 11:12
  and
• 11:13
  then
• 11:13
  of
• 11:13
  course
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  manufacturing
• 11:15
  elements.
• 11:17
  Yes,
• 11:17
  it's
• 11:17
  very
• 11:18
  scenic.
• 11:19
  But
• 11:19
  then
• 11:19
  you
• 11:19
  also
• 11:20
  see
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  wonderful
• 11:21
  geophysical
• 11:22
  features
• 11:23
  that
• 11:23
  are
• 11:23
  part
• 11:23
  of
• 11:24
  the
• 11:24
  Blue
• 11:24
  and
• 11:24
  Junko
• 11:25
  Mountain,
• 11:25
  which
• 11:26
  is
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  World
• 11:26
  Heritage
• 11:27
  Site
• 11:28
  that
• 11:28
  has
• 11:28
  been
• 11:28
  designated
• 11:29
  by
• 11:29
  UNESCO.
• 11:30
  Interesting.
• 11:31
  So
• 11:31
  when
• 11:32
  UNESCO
• 11:32
  designated
• 11:33
  it
• 11:33
  a
• 11:34
  World
• 11:34
  Heritage
• 11:35
  Site,
• 11:35
  was
• 11:36
  it
• 11:36
  for
• 11:36
  the
• 11:37
  geo.
• 11:38
  The
• 11:38
  geological
• 11:39
  features
• 11:40
  of
• 11:40
  it
• 11:40
  or
• 11:41
  for
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  coffee
• 11:42
  or
• 11:42
  what
• 11:42
  was
• 11:43
  the
• 11:43
  designation?
• 11:44
  It's
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  full
• 11:44
  combination
• 11:45
  of
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  geophysical
• 11:47
  features
• 11:48
  embodying
• 11:48
  the
• 11:49
  flora
• 11:49
  and
• 11:49
  fauna
• 11:50
  of
• 11:50
  that
• 11:51
  area.
• 11:53
  So
• 11:54
  it's
• 11:55
  unique
• 11:55
  in
• 11:55
  many
• 11:55
  forms.
• 11:56
  And
• 11:57
  you
• 11:57
  know,
• 11:58
  Jamaica
• 11:58
  is
• 11:59
  said
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  be
• 12:00
  a
• 12:00
  mountain
• 12:01
  of
• 12:01
  out
• 12:01
  of
• 12:01
  the
• 12:01
  sea.
• 12:02
  Huh.
• 12:04
  And
• 12:04
  that
• 12:05
  makes
• 12:05
  us
• 12:06
  have
• 12:06
  something
• 12:06
  called
• 12:07
  caste
• 12:08
  topography
• 12:09
  at
• 12:09
  a
• 12:09
  certain
• 12:09
  point.
• 12:10
  The
• 12:10
  Jamaica
• 12:11
  cockpit
• 12:12
  country
• 12:13
  represents
• 12:15
  in
• 12:15
  many
• 12:15
  instances
• 12:16
  features
• 12:17
  of
• 12:17
  the
• 12:18
  floor
• 12:18
  of
• 12:18
  the
• 12:18
  sea.
• 12:20
  Yes.
• 12:21
  And
• 12:21
  you
• 12:21
  still
• 12:21
  have
• 12:22
  the
• 12:22
  caste
• 12:23
  scenery
• 12:24
  that
• 12:25
  would
• 12:25
  be
• 12:26
  reminiscent
• 12:27
  of
• 12:27
  coral
• 12:27
  formations.
• 12:30
  Really.
• 12:30
  So
• 12:31
  it
• 12:31
  creates
• 12:32
  it's
• 12:32
  excitement
• 12:33
  in
• 12:33
  its
• 12:33
  own
• 12:33
  way
• 12:34
  and
• 12:35
  is
• 12:35
  a
• 12:35
  point
• 12:36
  of
• 12:36
  inquiry
• 12:37
  for
• 12:37
  a
• 12:37
  lot
• 12:37
  of
• 12:37
  geologists
• 12:38
  and
• 12:38
  so
• 12:39
  on.
• 12:39
  Interesting.
• 12:40
  I
• 12:40
  had
• 12:40
  no
• 12:41
  idea.
• 12:41
  That's
• 12:41
  fascinating.
• 12:43
  So
• 12:43
  you're
• 12:44
  probably
• 12:44
  best
• 12:45
  known
• 12:45
  for
• 12:46
  your
• 12:46
  beaches,
• 12:47
  at
• 12:47
  least
• 12:48
  to
• 12:48
  those
• 12:48
  who
• 12:48
  are
• 12:49
  planning
• 12:49
  vacations.
• 12:50
  There
• 12:51
  are
• 12:51
  other
• 12:51
  features
• 12:52
  that
• 12:52
  I'm
• 12:53
  referencing.
• 12:54
  I'm
• 12:54
  referencing
• 12:55
  now.
• 12:55
  There
• 12:55
  are
• 12:56
  other
• 12:56
  features,
• 12:56
  good
• 12:56
  features
• 12:57
  that
• 12:57
  will
• 12:58
  excite
• 12:58
  the
• 12:58
  visitor
• 12:59
  who.
• 12:59
  Yes,
• 13:00
  absolutely.
• 13:01
  Going
• 13:02
  into
• 13:02
  the
• 13:02
  interior
• 13:04
  should
• 13:05
  not
• 13:05
  be
• 13:05
  overlooked.
• 13:06
  Is
• 13:06
  Dunn's
• 13:07
  River
• 13:07
  Falls.
• 13:08
  That's
• 13:08
  something
• 13:08
  I've
• 13:08
  never
• 13:09
  done.
• 13:09
  Is
• 13:09
  that
• 13:09
  in
• 13:10
  the
• 13:10
  interior
• 13:10
  of
• 13:10
  Jamaica
• 13:11
  and
• 13:12
  what
• 13:12
  does
• 13:12
  that
• 13:12
  experience
• 13:13
  consist
• 13:13
  of?
• 13:14
  It
• 13:14
  ends
• 13:15
  on
• 13:15
  the
• 13:16
  northern
• 13:16
  coast
• 13:17
  of
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  country,
• 13:17
  but
• 13:18
  it
• 13:18
  really
• 13:18
  begins
• 13:18
  in
• 13:19
  the
• 13:19
  interior
• 13:19
  of
• 13:19
  the
• 13:19
  country.
• 13:20
  And
• 13:20
  it's
• 13:21
  part
• 13:21
  of
• 13:21
  that
• 13:21
  same
• 13:22
  geophysical
• 13:23
  feature
• 13:24
  that
• 13:24
  I
• 13:24
  mentioned
• 13:25
  earlier
• 13:25
  on
• 13:25
  because
• 13:26
  the
• 13:27
  water
• 13:27
  is
• 13:27
  collected
• 13:29
  in
• 13:29
  these
• 13:30
  mountain
• 13:31
  caverns,
• 13:32
  if
• 13:32
  you
• 13:32
  will.
• 13:33
  And
• 13:33
  then
• 13:33
  it
• 13:33
  flows
• 13:34
  down
• 13:35
  through
• 13:35
  the
• 13:35
  rocks
• 13:37
  and
• 13:38
  over
• 13:39
  flat
• 13:39
  rocks
• 13:39
  then
• 13:40
  and
• 13:41
  into
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  sea.
• 13:42
  So
• 13:42
  it
• 13:43
  becomes
• 13:43
  an
• 13:43
  exciting,
• 13:45
  shall
• 13:45
  I
• 13:45
  say
• 13:46
  it's
• 13:47
  an
• 13:47
  exciting
• 13:48
  adventure.
• 13:50
  Sure.
• 13:50
  To
• 13:50
  just
• 13:51
  climb
• 13:51
  up
• 13:51
  those
• 13:52
  rocks
• 13:53
  with
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  water
• 13:53
  flowing
• 13:54
  across
• 13:55
  it
• 13:56
  and
• 13:56
  that's
• 13:57
  what
• 13:57
  makes
• 13:57
  it
• 13:57
  so
• 13:58
  exciting
• 13:58
  to
• 13:58
  many.
• 13:59
  And
• 13:59
  then
• 13:59
  you
• 13:59
  could
• 14:00
  swim
• 14:00
  in
• 14:00
  parts
• 14:01
  and
• 14:01
  then
• 14:02
  you
• 14:02
  could
• 14:02
  then
• 14:02
  follow
• 14:03
  the
• 14:03
  trek
• 14:04
  all
• 14:04
  the
• 14:04
  way
• 14:04
  down
• 14:05
  to
• 14:05
  the
• 14:05
  sea.
• 14:07
  Yeah.
• 14:07
  Duns
• 14:08
  River
• 14:08
  Fall
• 14:08
  is
• 14:09
  the
• 14:09
  number
• 14:09
  one
• 14:10
  attraction
• 14:11
  for
• 14:11
  the
• 14:11
  entire.
• 14:11
  In
• 14:12
  the
• 14:12
  entire
• 14:12
  Caribbean.
• 14:13
  More
• 14:13
  tourists
• 14:14
  go
• 14:14
  to
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  Dunn
• 14:14
  River
• 14:15
  Fall
• 14:15
  than
• 14:16
  any
• 14:16
  other
• 14:16
  attraction
• 14:17
  in
• 14:17
  the
• 14:17
  Caribbean.
• 14:18
  I
• 14:18
  had
• 14:19
  no
• 14:19
  idea.
• 14:19
  That's
• 14:20
  fascinating.
• 14:21
  So
• 14:21
  Dunn's
• 14:22
  River
• 14:22
  Fall
• 14:22
  is
• 14:23
  the
• 14:23
  biggest,
• 14:23
  not
• 14:24
  only
• 14:24
  in
• 14:24
  Jamaica,
• 14:24
  but
• 14:25
  for
• 14:25
  the
• 14:25
  entire
• 14:26
  Caribbean.
• 14:26
  What's
• 14:27
  number
• 14:27
  two?
• 14:27
  English
• 14:28
  speaking
• 14:28
  Caribbean
• 14:29
  in
• 14:29
  particular.
• 14:29
  Right,
• 14:31
  because
• 14:32
  these
• 14:32
  are
• 14:32
  bigger
• 14:32
  countries,
• 14:33
  you
• 14:33
  know,
• 14:34
  with
• 14:35
  stronger
• 14:35
  geophysical
• 14:36
  features.
• 14:37
  Yes,
• 14:37
  sure.
• 14:38
  What's
• 14:38
  number
• 14:38
  two
• 14:39
  in

  Jamaica,
• 14:40
  would
• 14:40
  you

  say,

  in

  developed
• 14:44
  some
• 14:44
  human
• 14:45
  attractions
• 14:46
  now.
• 14:46
  You
• 14:47
  know,
• 14:48
  our
• 14:48
  zipline
• 14:49
  has
• 14:49
  been
• 14:49
  exciting.
• 14:50
  The
• 14:51
  Chuka
• 14:52
  experience
• 14:52
  is
• 14:53
  one
• 14:53
  that
• 14:53
  is
• 14:54
  worth
• 14:55
  making
• 14:55
  sure
• 14:55
  we
• 14:55
  have.
• 14:56
  Our
• 14:56
  zip
• 14:56
  line
• 14:56
  takes
• 14:57
  you
• 14:57
  straight
• 14:57
  into
• 14:57
  the
• 14:57
  sea,
• 14:58
  which
• 14:58
  is
• 14:58
  an
• 14:59
  exciting
• 14:59
  part
• 14:59
  of.
• 15:00
  Oh,
• 15:00
  wow.
• 15:01
  Yes,
• 15:01
  that's
• 15:02
  cool.
• 15:02
  Does
• 15:02
  it
• 15:03
  end
• 15:03
  in
• 15:03
  the
• 15:03
  sea?
• 15:03
  I'm
• 15:04
  assuming
• 15:04
  the
• 15:04
  sea
• 15:05
  in
• 15:05
  the
• 15:05
  swimming.
• 15:06
  And
• 15:06
  then
• 15:06
  you
• 15:06
  have
• 15:06
  the
• 15:07
  zipline
• 15:07
  that
• 15:07
  take
• 15:08
  you
• 15:08
  now
• 15:08
  into
• 15:08
  just
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  mountain
• 15:09
  areas.
• 15:10
  That's

  Ah,

  You

• 17:22
  they

• 17:23
  Really,
• 17:23
  reggae
• 17:24
  is
• 17:24
  all
• 17:24
  over.
• 17:27
  You

  good

  weekly

  and
• 17:40
  Sometimes
• 17:41
  nightly
• 17:41
  reggae
• 17:42
  experiences
• 17:43
  in
• 17:43
  Ocho
• 17:43
  Reyes
• 17:44
  in
• 17:44
  Montego
• 17:45
  Bay.
• 17:45
  Kingston
• 17:47
  and
• 17:47
  Kingston
• 17:47
  is
• 17:47
  really
• 17:48
  buzzing.
• 17:48
  It's
• 17:49
  a
• 17:49
  very
• 17:49
  powerful
• 17:51
  entertainment
• 17:52
  city
• 17:53
  with
• 17:53
  strong
• 17:54
  cultural
• 17:54
  attributes.
• 17:56
  Heavy
• 17:56
  and
• 17:57
  good
• 17:58
  cuisine.
• 17:58
  The
• 17:59
  gastronomy
• 17:59
  is
• 18:00
  at
• 18:00
  a
• 18:00
  very
• 18:00
  high
• 18:01
  level
• 18:01
  now.
• 18:01
  And
• 18:02
  Kingston
• 18:05
  has
• 18:06
  become
• 18:07
  the
• 18:07
  new
• 18:07
  culinary
• 18:08
  center
• 18:09
  in
• 18:09
  the
• 18:09
  Caribbean.
• 18:11
  So
• 18:12
  we
• 18:12
  want
• 18:12
  to
• 18:12
  encourage
• 18:14
  visit
• 18:14
  to
• 18:14
  Kingston
• 18:15
  as
• 18:15
  well
• 18:16
  and
• 18:16
  stay

  enjoy
• 18:19
  what
• 18:19
  city
• 18:20
  tourism
• 18:20
  is
• 18:20
  all
• 18:21
  about.
• 18:21
  In
• 18:21
  Jamaica.
• 18:22
  I
• 18:22
  think
• 18:22
  that
• 18:23
  represents
• 18:23
  a
• 18:24
  change.
• 18:25
  It
• 18:25
  used
• 18:25
  to
• 18:25
  be
• 18:26
  maybe
• 18:26
  20
• 18:26
  years
• 18:27
  ago
• 18:27
  that
• 18:28
  when
• 18:28
  you
• 18:28
  went
• 18:28
  to
• 18:28
  Jamaica,
• 18:29
  you
• 18:29
  kind
• 18:29
  of
• 18:29
  just
• 18:30
  stayed
• 18:30
  on
• 18:30
  the
• 18:30
  resort,
• 18:31
  but
• 18:32
  you're
• 18:32
  telling
• 18:32
  people
• 18:33
  that
• 18:33
  you
• 18:33
  want
• 18:33
  them
• 18:33
  to
• 18:33
  see
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  whole
• 18:34
  island.
• 18:35
  Now.
• 18:35
  See
• 18:35
  the
• 18:35
  whole
• 18:35
  island
• 18:36
  because
• 18:36
  we're
• 18:37
  a
• 18:37
  country,
• 18:38
  we're
• 18:38
  not
• 18:38
  just
• 18:39
  a
• 18:39
  beach
• 18:39
  or
• 18:40
  a
• 18:40
  country.
• 18:40
  Right.
• 18:41
  And
• 18:41
  we
• 18:41
  want
• 18:41
  you

  to

• 18:42
  explore
• 18:43
  all
• 18:43
  that
• 18:44
  we
• 18:44
  have
• 18:44
  to
• 18:44
  offer.
• 18:44
  And
• 18:45
  you
• 18:45
  will
• 18:45
  find
• 18:46
  that
• 18:46
  one
• 18:46
  visit
• 18:47
  is
• 18:47
  never
• 18:47
  enough.
• 18:48
  So
• 18:49
  you'll
• 18:49
  have
• 18:49
  to

  of

  our

  discovered

  Well,

  took

  a

  wonderful

  class.
• 19:03
  That's

  I

  Is

  represents
• 19:31
  the

  Jamaicans
• 19:39

  past.
• 19:40
  In
• 19:40
  fact,
• 19:40
  Devon

  was

  built

  by

  Jamaica.
• 19:45
  And
• 19:46
  so
• 19:46
  the

  and
• 19:49
  the

  during

  early
• 19:54
  19th
• 19:55
  century.
• 19:56
  Interesting.
• 19:57
  So
• 19:58
  a

  the
• 20:06
  future
• 20:07
  we're

• 20:25
  then
• 20:26
  around
• 20:26
  it,
• 20:27
  you
• 20:27
  would
• 20:27
  have

  of
• 20:29
  farm
• 20:29
  market

  Fabulous.
• 20:38
  Love
• 20:38
  it.
• 20:39
  You
• 20:39
  could
• 20:39
  learn
• 20:39
  to

  do

  a

  little

  more

  Well,

  I
• 20:43
  learned
• 20:44
  ackee
• 20:44
  and
• 20:44
  I
• 20:44
  learned
• 20:45
  jerk
• 20:45
  chicken
• 20:46
  when
• 20:47
  I
• 20:47
  did
• 20:47
  this.
• 20:47
  It
• 20:47
  was
• 20:48
  really
• 20:48
  fun.
• 20:48
  It
• 20:49
  was
• 20:49
  great
• 20:49
  and
• 20:49
  delicious.
• 20:50
  One
• 20:50
  of
• 20:51
  the
• 20:51
  things
• 20:51
  I
• 20:52
  really
• 20:52
  respect
• 20:52
  about
• 20:53
  Jamaica
• 20:53
  is
• 20:54
  unlike
• 20:55
  some
• 20:56
  island
• 20:56
  groupings
• 20:57
  where
• 20:57
  it's
• 20:58
  only
• 20:58
  high
• 20:59
  end,
• 20:59
  and
• 21:00
  others
• 21:00
  where
• 21:00
  you're
• 21:01
  only
• 21:01
  going
• 21:01
  to
• 21:01
  get
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  budget
• 21:02
  experience,
• 21:04
  Jamaica
• 21:04
  has
• 21:04
  something
• 21:05
  for
• 21:05
  all
• 21:05
  price
• 21:06
  ranges.
• 21:07
  I'VE
• 21:07
  found
• 21:08
  you

  what
• 21:12
  they're
• 21:13
  going
• 21:13
  to
• 21:13
  pay.
• 21:13
  But
• 21:14
  you
• 21:14
  also
• 21:14
  have
• 21:14
  historic
• 21:15
  resorts
• 21:16
  like
• 21:16
  goldeneye,
• 21:17
  which
• 21:17
  was
• 21:18
  the
• 21:18
  home
• 21:18
  of
• 21:18
  Ian
• 21:19
  Fleming.
• 21:19
  Am

  the
• 21:20
  name

• 21:21
  our.
• 21:22
  We
• 21:22
  have
• 21:22
  a
• 21:23
  new
• 21:23
  coffee
• 21:24
  table
• 21:24
  book
• 21:25
  about
• 21:25
  some
• 21:26
  of
• 21:26
  the
• 21:26
  most
• 21:26
  beautiful
• 21:27
  places
• 21:27
  you
• 21:27
  can
• 21:28
  stay
• 21:28
  on
• 21:28
  earth.
• 21:28
  And
• 21:29
  goldeneye
• 21:29
  in
• 21:30
  Jamaica
• 21:30
  is
• 21:30
  there.
• 21:31
  It's
• 21:31
  one
• 21:31
  of
• 21:31
  them,
• 21:31
  definitely.
• 21:32
  And
• 21:33
  Ian
• 21:33
  Fleming,
• 21:34
  you
• 21:34
  know,
• 21:35
  he
• 21:35
  wrote
• 21:38
  the
• 21:38
  OOC
• 21:40
  James
• 21:40
  Bond
• 21:41
  series.
• 21:41
  So
• 21:41
  everybody.
• 21:42
  Yes,
• 21:43
  it's
• 21:43
  very
• 21:44
  popular
• 21:44
  for
• 21:44
  that.
• 21:45
  And
• 21:45
  then
• 21:45
  Noel
• 21:46
  Coward
• 21:47
  has
• 21:47
  another
• 21:48
  Fireflies
• 21:49
  in
• 21:50
  the
• 21:50
  same
• 21:50
  area.
• 21:51
  And
• 21:51
  Jamaica
• 21:52
  was
• 21:53
  the
• 21:55
  literary
• 21:56
  center
• 21:56
  for
• 21:56
  many.
• 21:57
  And
• 21:57
  so
• 21:58
  many
• 21:58
  authors
• 21:59
  and
• 21:59
  playwrights
• 22:00
  and
• 22:00
  poets
• 22:01
  have
• 22:01
  come
• 22:02
  and
• 22:02
  I've
• 22:02
  written
• 22:02
  books
• 22:03
  from
• 22:04
  locations
• 22:04
  in
• 22:05
  Jamaica
• 22:05
  and
• 22:06
  I've
• 22:06
  been
• 22:06
  inspired
• 22:07
  creatively
• 22:08
  from
• 22:09
  their
• 22:09
  experiences
• 22:10
  in
• 22:10
  Jamaica.
• 22:11
  I
• 22:12
  didn't
• 22:12
  know
• 22:12
  about
• 22:12
  Noel
• 22:12
  Coward.
• 22:13
  So
• 22:13
  Fireflies,
• 22:14
  is
• 22:14
  that
• 22:15
  visitable,
• 22:15
  his
• 22:16
  house
• 22:16
  there?
• 22:16
  Yes,
• 22:17
  yes,
• 22:17
  in
• 22:17
  St.
• 22:17
  Mary,
• 22:18
  which
• 22:18
  is
• 22:19
  close
• 22:19
  by
• 22:20
  to
• 22:20
  GoldenEye.
• 22:22
  Interesting.
• 22:23
  So
• 22:24
  is
• 22:24
  there
• 22:24
  anything
• 22:25
  I
• 22:25
  haven't
• 22:25
  asked
• 22:25
  you
• 22:26
  that
• 22:26
  I
• 22:26
  should
• 22:26
  have?
• 22:27
  Well,
• 22:28
  I
• 22:28
  think
• 22:29
  we
• 22:29
  were
• 22:30
  talking
• 22:30
  about
• 22:30
  hidden
• 22:31
  gems
• 22:31
  a
• 22:31
  while
• 22:31
  ago
• 22:32
  without
• 22:33
  going
• 22:33
  into
• 22:33
  that
• 22:34
  detail.
• 22:34
  And
• 22:35
  so
• 22:35
  there
• 22:36
  are
• 22:36
  many
• 22:36
  more
• 22:36
  wonderful
• 22:37
  hidden
• 22:37
  gems,
• 22:38
  you
• 22:38
  know,
• 22:38
  like
• 22:39
  Reaches
• 22:39
  Fall
• 22:40
  in
• 22:40
  Portland
• 22:41
  and
• 22:41
  the
• 22:41
  luminous
• 22:42
  lagoon
• 22:42
  in
• 22:42
  Falmouth.
• 22:43
  You
• 22:43
  know,
• 22:44
  we're
• 22:44
  the
• 22:44
  only
• 22:45
  place
• 22:45
  in
• 22:45
  the
• 22:46
  region
• 22:46
  in
• 22:46
  the
• 22:46
  Caribbean
• 22:47
  where
• 22:47
  you
• 22:47
  have
• 22:48
  these
• 22:49
  phosphorus
• 22:50
  type
• 22:50
  appearances
• 22:52
  from
• 22:52
  small
• 22:52
  fish
• 22:53
  that
• 22:53
  are
• 22:54
  in
• 22:54
  the
• 22:54
  ocean
• 22:55
  and
• 22:55
  they
• 22:55
  give
• 22:56
  that
• 22:56
  appearance
• 22:57
  in
• 22:57
  the
• 22:57
  nights
• 22:58
  in
• 22:58
  particular.
• 22:59
  And
• 22:59
  so
• 22:59
  the
• 23:00
  lagoon
• 23:00
  literally
• 23:01
  illuminates
• 23:02
  from
• 23:03
  these
• 23:04
  maritime
• 23:04
  creatures.
• 23:05
  I
• 23:06
  thought
• 23:06
  they
• 23:06
  had
• 23:06
  that
• 23:06
  in
• 23:07
  Puerto
• 23:07
  Rico
• 23:07
  too,
• 23:08
  but
• 23:08
  I
• 23:09
  know
• 23:09
  that
• 23:09
  they've
• 23:09
  had
• 23:09
  problems
• 23:10
  with
• 23:11
  light
• 23:12
  pollution
• 23:12
  there
• 23:13
  and
• 23:13
  it's
• 23:13
  lost
• 23:13
  the
• 23:14
  bioluminescence.
• 23:15
  So
• 23:15
  are
• 23:15
  you
• 23:15
  saying
• 23:16
  that
• 23:17
  lagoon.
• 23:18
  Please
• 23:19
  do
• 23:19
  come
• 23:20
  and
• 23:21
  spend
• 23:21
  your
• 23:21
  time.
• 23:22
  We
• 23:22
  have
• 23:22
  an
• 23:23
  excellent
• 23:24
  hotel
• 23:24
  nearby
• 23:25
  by
• 23:25
  that
• 23:25
  very
• 23:26
  name,
• 23:26
  Excellence.
• 23:29
  And
• 23:29
  then
• 23:29
  we
• 23:29
  also
• 23:30
  have
• 23:30
  a
• 23:30
  number
• 23:30
  of
• 23:31
  other
• 23:31
  properties
• 23:32
  around
• 23:33
  that
• 23:33
  could
• 23:34
  provide
• 23:34
  proper
• 23:35
  accommodation.
• 23:38
  Can
• 23:38
  you
• 23:38
  take
• 23:38
  a
• 23:38
  boat
• 23:39
  out
• 23:39
  into
• 23:39
  the
• 23:40
  lagoon
• 23:40
  so
• 23:40
  you're
• 23:41
  surrounded
• 23:41
  by
• 23:41
  the
• 23:41
  creatures?
• 23:42
  So
• 23:43
  you
• 23:43
  do
• 23:44
  have
• 23:44
  small
• 23:45
  canoes.
• 23:45
  Boats.
• 23:46
  Small
• 23:46
  boats,
• 23:47
  yes.
• 23:47
  That
• 23:47
  could
• 23:48
  take
• 23:48
  you
• 23:48
  on
• 23:49
  and
• 23:49
  you
• 23:49
  could
• 23:50
  go
• 23:50
  and
• 23:50
  see
• 23:50
  them
• 23:51
  in
• 23:51
  the
• 23:51
  nights,
• 23:52
  take
• 23:52
  pictures
• 23:52
  and
• 23:53
  enjoy
• 23:53
  that
• 23:54
  view.
• 23:55
  And
• 23:55
  then
• 23:55
  there's
• 23:56
  Floyd's
• 23:57
  Pelican
• 23:57
  Bar,
• 23:57
  which
• 23:58
  is
• 23:58
  a
• 23:58
  bar
• 23:58
  in
• 23:59
  the
• 23:59
  ocean.
• 24:00
  Wow.
• 24:00
  It's
• 24:01
  on
• 24:01
  the
• 24:01
  south
• 24:01
  coast
• 24:02
  outside
• 24:02
  of
• 24:03
  Black
• 24:03
  river,
• 24:04
  near
• 24:04
  to
• 24:05
  Treasure
• 24:05
  beach,
• 24:06
  which
• 24:06
  is.
• 24:07
  Yes.
• 24:07
  Which
• 24:08
  is
• 24:08
  where
• 24:09
  the
• 24:09
  Calabash
• 24:10
  Literary
• 24:10
  Festival
• 24:11
  takes
• 24:12
  place
• 24:12
  and
• 24:12
  so
• 24:12
  on.
• 24:13
  Do
• 24:13
  you
• 24:13
  have
• 24:13
  to
• 24:14
  give
• 24:14
  people
• 24:14
  a
• 24:14
  swimming
• 24:15
  test
• 24:15
  before
• 24:16
  they
• 24:16
  swim
• 24:16
  out
• 24:16
  to
• 24:16
  the
• 24:17
  bar?
• 24:17
  I
• 24:17
  was
• 24:18
  a
• 24:18
  bartender
• 24:18
  in
• 24:18
  my
• 24:19
  early
• 24:19
  20s
• 24:20
  and
• 24:20
  it
• 24:20
  was
• 24:20
  very
• 24:20
  important
• 24:21
  to
• 24:21
  know
• 24:22
  when
• 24:22
  to
• 24:22
  cut
• 24:22
  people
• 24:23
  off.
• 24:23
  So
• 24:23
  that
• 24:23
  they
• 24:24
  didn't
• 24:24
  get
• 24:24
  too
• 24:24
  drunk.
• 24:25
  I
• 24:25
  would
• 24:25
  think
• 24:25
  this
• 24:26
  is
• 24:26
  doubly
• 24:26
  dangerous
• 24:27
  in
• 24:27
  the
• 24:27
  ocean.
• 24:28
  How
• 24:28
  do
• 24:28
  you
• 24:28
  know
• 24:28
  you're
• 24:29
  going
• 24:29
  to
• 24:29
  get
• 24:29
  back
• 24:29
  to
• 24:29
  shore?
• 24:30
  Well,
• 24:31
  we
• 24:31
  were
• 24:32
  well
• 24:32
  equipped
• 24:32
  with
• 24:33
  wonderful
• 24:33
  boats
• 24:34
  and
• 24:34
  canoes
• 24:35
  and
• 24:35
  so
• 24:35
  on
• 24:35
  that
• 24:36
  are
• 24:36
  ready
• 24:37
  there
• 24:37
  to
• 24:37
  take
• 24:37
  you.
• 24:38
  Okay.
• 24:39
  With
• 24:39
  lifeguards
• 24:41
  and
• 24:42
  also
• 24:42
  diving
• 24:43
  experts
• 24:44
  who
• 24:44
  can
• 24:44
  assist
• 24:45
  you.
• 24:45
  So
• 24:46
  don't
• 24:46
  worry
• 24:46
  about
• 24:47
  it.
• 24:47
  The
• 24:47
  Pelican
• 24:48
  Bar.
• 24:49
  Lovely
• 24:49
  and
• 24:50
  very
• 24:50
  exciting.
• 24:51
  And
• 24:51
  it
• 24:51
  really
• 24:52
  is
• 24:52
  one
• 24:52
  of
• 24:52
  the
• 24:52
  big
• 24:53
  attractions
• 24:53
  also
• 24:54
  on
• 24:54
  our
• 24:55
  south
• 24:55
  coast.
• 24:56
  Fabulous.
• 24:56
  So
• 24:57
  I
• 24:58
  think
• 24:59
  what
• 24:59
  really
• 25:00
  sets
• 25:00
  us
• 25:00
  apart
• 25:02
  is
• 25:02
  the
• 25:03
  breadth
• 25:03
  of
• 25:03
  experiences
• 25:04
  that
• 25:04
  are
• 25:05
  rooted
• 25:06
  in
• 25:06
  our
• 25:06
  heritage
• 25:07
  and
• 25:07
  the
• 25:07
  warm
• 25:07
  hospitality
• 25:08
  of
• 25:08
  our
• 25:09
  people.
• 25:09
  You
• 25:09
  know,
• 25:09
  we
• 25:10
  tend
• 25:10
  to
• 25:10
  say
• 25:10
  that
• 25:11
  Jamaicans
• 25:12
  have
• 25:12
  hospitality
• 25:13
  in
• 25:13
  their
• 25:13
  DNA.
• 25:14
  You
• 25:14
  are
• 25:14
  going
• 25:15
  to
• 25:15
  feel
• 25:16
  that
• 25:16
  warmth,
• 25:17
  that
• 25:17
  friendliness,
• 25:18
  that
• 25:18
  sense
• 25:19
  of
• 25:19
  really
• 25:20
  belonging
• 25:20
  to
• 25:21
  something,
• 25:22
  someone.
• 25:23
  When
• 25:24
  you
• 25:24
  are
• 25:24
  in
• 25:25
  Jamaica,
• 25:26
  I
• 25:26
  urge
• 25:27
  our
• 25:27
  visitors
• 25:28

  down.
• 25:29
  Come
• 25:30
  and
• 25:30
  experience
• 25:30
  the
• 25:31
  beauty,
• 25:31
  warmth
• 25:32
  and
• 25:32
  the
• 25:32
  diversity
• 25:33
  of
• 25:33
  the
• 25:33
  Jamaican
• 25:34
  culture.
• 25:35
  And
• 25:35
  let
• 25:35
  us
• 25:36
  share
• 25:36
  with
• 25:36
  you

• 25:39
  our

  motto
• 25:39
  is
• 25:40
  out
• 25:40
  of

• 25:41
  one
• 25:41
  people.
• 25:42
  Beautiful.
• 25:43
  Thank
• 25:43

  Really

  your.
• 26:00
  Sour
• 26:01
  candy
• 26:02
  on
• 26:03
  the
• 26:03
  table.
• 26:05
  Lazy
• 26:06
  afternoons
• 26:07
  in
• 26:07
  your
• 26:08
  sweatpants
• 26:09
  Watching
• 26:09
  cable.
• 26:11
  Well,
• 26:12
  it
• 26:12
  feels
• 26:13
  so
• 26:13
  far
• 26:13
  away.
• 26:17
  All
• 26:17
  the
• 26:17
  channels
• 26:18
  seem
• 26:19
  the
• 26:19
  same.
• 26:21
  Trying
• 26:22
  to
• 26:22
  remember
• 26:23
  all
• 26:24
  the
• 26:24
  songs
• 26:25
  we
• 26:25
  like
• 26:25
  to
• 26:25
  play.
• 26:26
  Cause
• 26:27
  those
• 26:27
  lazy
• 26:28
  afternoons
• 26:29
  don't
• 26:29
  come
• 26:29
  so
• 26:30
  frequently
• 26:30
  these
• 26:31
  days.
• 26:33
  Oh,
• 26:34
  it's
• 26:34
  been
• 26:35
  so
• 26:35
  long
• 26:37
  And
• 26:37
  I
• 26:37
  cannot
• 26:38
  help
• 26:38
  but
• 26:39
  wonder
• 26:39
  Are
• 26:40
  you
• 26:40
  ever
• 26:41
  coming
• 26:41
  home?
• 26:42
  I
• 26:42
  like
• 26:43
  you
• 26:43
  with
• 26:43
  your
• 26:44
  sour
• 26:44
  candy
• 26:45
  in
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  boat
• 26:46
  house
• 26:46
  on
• 26:46
  the
• 26:47
  lake.
• 26:47
  Oh,
• 26:48
  but
• 26:48
  I
• 26:48
  hate,
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  hate,
• 26:49
  I,
• 26:50
  I
• 26:50
  hate,
• 26:50
  I
• 26:50
  hate,
• 26:50
  I
• 26:51
  hate,
• 26:52
  I
• 26:52
  hate
• 26:53
  the
• 26:53
  way
• 26:53
  it
• 26:53
  takes.
• 27:05
  I
• 27:05
  can't
• 27:06
  get
• 27:06
  you
• 27:06
  off
• 27:07
  of
• 27:07
  my
• 27:07
  mind.
• 27:10
  Looking
• 27:11
  out
• 27:11
  the
• 27:11
  window
• 27:12
  where
• 27:12
  we
• 27:12
  spend
• 27:13
  so
• 27:13
  much
• 27:13
  of
• 27:14
  our
• 27:14
  time.
• 27:16
  Cause
• 27:16
  I
• 27:17
  miss
• 27:17
  the
• 27:17
  way
• 27:17
  it
• 27:18
  felt.
• 27:20
  But
• 27:20
  I
• 27:21
  guess
• 27:21
  you
• 27:21
  can't
• 27:22
  control
• 27:22
  those
• 27:23
  damn
• 27:23
  cards
• 27:24
  with
• 27:26
  Babe.
• 27:27
  I
• 27:27
  know
• 27:27
  that
• 27:27
  both
• 27:28
  of
• 27:28
  us
• 27:28
  are
• 27:29
  happy
• 27:29
  when
• 27:30
  we're
• 27:30
  free.
• 27:31
  But
• 27:32
  would
• 27:32
  it
• 27:32
  be
• 27:32
  so
• 27:33
  hard
• 27:33
  to
• 27:34
  find
• 27:34
  your
• 27:34
  freedom
• 27:35
  here
• 27:35
  with
• 27:36
  me?
• 27:37
  Oh,
• 27:38
  it's
• 27:39
  been
• 27:39
  so
• 27:40
  long.
• 27:42
  And
• 27:42
  I
• 27:42
  cannot
• 27:43
  help
• 27:43
  but
• 27:43
  wonder
• 27:44
  Are
• 27:45
  you
• 27:45
  ever
• 27:45
  coming
• 27:46
  home?
• 27:47
  I
• 27:47
  like
• 27:47
  you
• 27:48
  with
• 27:48
  your
• 27:48
  sour
• 27:49
  candy
• 27:50
  in
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  boat
• 27:51
  house
• 27:51
  on
• 27:51
  the
• 27:51
  lake.
• 27:52
  But
• 27:53
  I
• 27:53
  hate,
• 27:54
  I
• 27:54
  hate,
• 27:54
  I
• 27:55
  hate,
• 27:55
  I
• 27:55
  hate,
• 27:55
  I
• 27:56
  hate,
• 27:57
  I
• 27:57
  hate
• 27:57
  the
• 27:58
  way
• 27:58
  it
• 27:58
  tastes.
• 28:09
  And
• 28:10
  I,
• 28:12
  I
• 28:15
  hate
• 28:15
  the
• 28:15
  way
• 28:15
  it
• 28:16
  tastes.
• 28:17
  But
• 28:17
  I
• 28:18
  love
• 28:18
  it
• 28:18
  all
• 28:19
  the
• 28:19
  same.
• 28:20
  And
• 28:20
  I,
• 28:22
  I
• 28:25
  hate
• 28:26
  the
• 28:26
  way
• 28:26
  it
• 28:26
  tastes
• 28:28
  But
• 28:28
  I
• 28:28
  love
• 28:29
  it
• 28:29
  all
• 28:29
  the
• 28:30
  same.
