1) Tourism has become an increasingly important part of Jamaica's economy in recent decades. Tourism has improved the country's economy and increased its employment. It has also brought many opportunities to Jamaica's population. For example, in 2012 tourism provided almost $13 billion to Jamaica's economy. 2) The income from tourism plays a major part in helping Jamaica's government to fund economic and social policies. The government has used the taxes from tourism to support special programs in education and health care. Tourism has also helped the country to improve its infrastructure or the basic system that a county needs to work property. One example of this is that Jamaica began to develop its roads and airports, which tourists use during their visit to the country. 3) Along with developing the country's infrastructure, Jamaica has also started to protect some of its valuable natural resources. One example is that the country began to identify and protect its national parks and beaches. Now visitors must pay entry fees to visit these parks, which help to provide money to keep the parks protected. The government also works to keep the parks and beaches free from pollution and trash. These government policies have had a positive effect on tourism because tourists are able to have a better experience when they visit these places. 4) Jamaica continues to rely heavily on tourism for its economy. However, one of the disadvantages of tourism in the country is the rainy season, which extends from May to November. During this time, 25% of the hotel workers lose their jobs because there are very few tourists. This has had a negative effect on the lives of the people who work in the tourism industry in the country.
