    Movie Critique: Jamaica for Sale

    Jamaica as a tourism destination faces numerous challenges as a country. As one of the most indebted countries in the world Jamaica in undergoing mass market, large-scale, hotel development as well as condominiums and residential gated communities. Casinos, major tourist attractions, a new international airport, and more luxury hotels are in the process of construction, which is creating great threat to the local community, environment, and natural resources (Collins, 2005, pg. 34). Socially penurious local communities are lacking basic amenities such as proper schools, housing, healthcare, sewage treatment, security, and reliable utilities. Furthermore, ecologically sensitive shorelines are facing an uproar of construction with tourist related superstructure and infrastructure (Dodds & Graci, 2010 pg. 51).…

    Reaction to Jamaica Kincaid's A Tourist is an Ugly Human Being

    Sometimes a tourist becomes "ugly" involuntarily. As a tourist, she argues, one fails to see the harsh reality of things that might appear to us as amusing or beautiful. Not only is a tourist an ugly human being morally, but also culturally. According to Jamaica, natives who work in tourist sites or live in a touristic place despise tourists. From the way they act to the way they look. She makes it seem as if they only seem to get along with the tourists because of their money.…

    Jamaica Kincaid

    Ms. Kinkaid's assessments are extremely critical, but they also give any reader a new perspective on what locals may think while tourists visit their land. Antigua, from the author's description has a strong workforce within the tourism field, being that its one of the only places needing employees. She uses irony by saying that because white tourists are on vacation they block out whatever negative views are around them, therefore the island they visit is perfect. Kinkaid slightly contradicts herself when describing the employees as happy individuals because for a tourist the first positive impression from a worker could relay a happy person makes, a happy place. For Kinkaid to blame the reader or visitors ignorance as the reason for her rash views of her land, is unjust.…

    Jamaica Kincaid'scrutinize In A Small Place Imperialism

    By this discourse, the tourist shifts to an untrusted figure of commemorated dominance, of a profile representing a system in which unwanted history remains deleted; a “Ghost of Imperialism Past”. Tourism, then, proves to be the byproduct of imperialism, stamped with a lacking obligation to comprehend one’s individual and collective influences. This brilliantly brands the tourist of A Small Place. They may wonder why a shiny unreality like Antigua came to be, but as they revel in its crystal waters and steamed lobsters they soon forget –– as if they ever sought out to remember –– why the very natives who greeted them into their splendor are too poor, too devoid of the monetary or cultural funds, to escape a reality far colder than that of America (or even worse,…

    Personal Narrative: A Small Place By Jamaica Kincaid

    Growing up in a family that loves to travel means that I’ve come across many different types of people and places. Fortunately, I have been to several different countries as a tourist. However, it wasn’t until I read “A Small Place” by Jamaica Kincaid that I came to the recollection that I may possibly be a bad tourist. After reading about tourists through a native’s eyes in Kincaid’s novel, I have become ashamed of one specific vacation that my family and I took to Ambergris Caye, Belize in May of 2016. My day to day actions while on the trip such as eating in expensive restaurants and constantly videoing on a GoPro would definitely make it easy for a native of Ambergris Caye to resent me for being a privileged American tourist.…

    Jamaica Kincaid A Small Place Analysis

    Kincaid is particularly provocative when she writes, “you [the tourist] make a leap from being that nice blob just sitting like a boob in your amniotic sac of the modern experience to being a person visiting heaps of death and ruin and feeling inspired by the sight of it” (16). Tourists travel to get away from their normal lives and to see the landscape but are ignorant of their actions related to the destruction of the landscape, people, and similarity to their normal life. As Kincaid points out, “When you sit down to eat your delicious meal, it’s better that you don't know that most of what you are eating came off a plane from Miami” (14). This exemplifies how small nations, much like Antigua, are economically exploited even on a global scale by larger nations.The food came from a small island, was sold to a bigger nation, and then sold it back and bigger nations made a profit off of it. Kincaid uses irony, provocation, and confrontation to make her point. Tourists are an outlet for Kincaid’s anger towards the inequality of the world she knows. She was born in an imperialistic Antigua, and although Tourism is not the same level of inequality as imperialism, the principles are the same. The people of the higher class can escape and leave, but the people who are lower in the class system are trapped. In a provocative…

    The Cost of Tourism in the Cook Islands

    1 In theory, tourism brings substantial economic benefits to a country. But who gains the wealth generated? In recent times tour operators have brought large numbers of tourists to the Cook Islands to enjoy their beauty and the traditional life style. Local people meet this demand in the form of profit generation. Can it be argued that tourism in the Cook Islands has brought wealth and well-being for the majority of the local population? Tourism is also promoted as creating jobs and fostering social relations, and in particular a better understanding between nations. However, there is, according to one researcher, "a growing body of empirical evidence that the so-called 'benefits' of tourism are often greatly outweighed by the substantial long-term social and environmental costs incurred" (Mercer, 1994, p. 127). This essay will argue that in the case of the Cook Islands, tourism's economic and social benefits are unfortunately unrealised ideals and that instead it has put stresses and strains on both the country's economic wellbeing and its social values. 2 Turning first to the alleged economic benefits of tourism, we can see that in the case of the Cook Islands, there is a variety of sources of income from tourist receipts. According to a 1991 visitor survey (Tourism Council of the South Pacific, 1991), after beach activities and natural scenery (62%), visitors to the Cook Islands are looking for entertainment and folklore and culture experiences (27%). Tourists contribute to the local economy by spending money on travel to and around the country, as well as on accommodation, food, entertainment and souvenirs. Results from this same survey, for example, revealed that in the survey period (October 1991 to February 1992) close to 90% of tourists surveyed stayed in hotels or similar accommodation. Also, close to 70% of total tourist expenditure was on accommodation, restaurants and bars, with a further 16% on transport, tours and entertainment (Tourism Council of the…
