The director of tourism for Jamaica has called upon the government to ease up on travelling laws for pets. He says this would boost the number of people coming to enjoy Jamaica luxury holidays, as it would enable their pets to fly with them.

So far, only tourists from Britain and Ireland can import their pets into the country. It is designed to keep health standards high and maintain Jamaica’s reputation as a country free of rabies. The law dates back to 1948.

Jamaica has been thinking up new ways to boost tourism. Tourism numbers are on the up again, helped in no small partby the immense rebuilding projects going on throughout the country. This means there are far more attractions than before and a better infrastructure. It makes exploring the island more pleasurable and more efficient.

While guests routinely enjoy the golden sands of Jamaica, the government has made major steps to improve the attractions within towns such as Kingston. The Jamaican people are among the friendliest in the world and have a strong connection with people from the UK.

Calls to cut the laws on the importation of pets would potentially raise tourism numbers from Germany and France. Germany and France are two of the most coveted markets in the Caribbean due to the numbers of them arriving in the region each year. Cuba and other islands have benefited significantly from this trade.

Visitors from the UK and Ireland are free to bring their pets, as mentioned above. Many hotels and resorts have special accommodations for pets, and staying in a luxury accommodation will also mean the petswill have their food and various needs taken care of. Jamaica has long stretches of beach where dogs can run and play in relative isolation.

As the island is in a state of expansion, it wants to do everything it can to increase the quality of holidays for tourists arriving the country. More pet-friendly laws would open up a new market and drastically increase tourism numbers from the US.Mr Lynch, the director of tourism, noted that people were very attached to their animals in the US.

Jamaica is the land of adventure and there is plenty of room for trying something new. Many pet owners enjoy seeking out the isolated reaches of the country where exotic flora and fauna thrive. It is possible to find one of the eighteen peace villages around the country; these were declared thus because of their open-mindedness and warm welcome they give to travellers.

With the lifting of these restrictions, it will give more people a chance to enjoy what the island has to offer.
