Craft Protection & Market Upgrade: Delano Seiveright is calling for stronger safeguards against imported imitations of Jamaican craft, while the $53.5-million rehabilitation of Montego Bay’s Old Fort Craft Market is set to benefit 156 vendors and strengthen their tourism role. Beach Access Fight: Jamaica’s Ministry of Tourism lists 60 public bathing beaches as locals and campaigners continue pushing to replace colonial-era access rules. Special Olympics Beach Games: Digicel Foundation backs the first-ever Jamaica Special Olympics Caribbean Beach Games at Harmony Beach Park, Montego Bay, Nov. 18–22. Tourism Cautionary Debate: A new analysis argues heavy reliance on tourism can be a “dangerous illusion,” even for destinations often seen as success stories.
