The island of Jamaica lies in the north of the Caribbean. Its pristine beauty has attracted visitors for centuries: first it was only the well-off who could afford the unspoilt tropical wonders of Jamaica but today, all tourists are provided with the best resorts and 'all-inclusive' hotels, and natural attractions have been commercialised to cope with the crowds and make the most out of the visitors.
Fortunately, commercialisation has not spoiled Jamaica. It still presents a great variety of colour and natural beauty that makes vacationers spend an unforgettable time.
The inhabitants of Jamaica are a charming blend of varied cultures and nationalities, though mainly African-based due to the influence of the imported slaves, who made an effort to keep their tribal traditions alive while being forced to labour on the island plantations.
Jamaican people are mainly Christian and their official language is English. Jamaica has a tropical climate. The country's currency is the Jamaican Dollar.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Jamaica: the electricity runs on 110 Volts and the country code is 876.
