Local Jamaicans don't received any money from tourism. The tourist areas in Jamaica is horrible, and the hotels turn off the water for the local population and the tourist are racist and only come to have sex with our kids. No If any whites come to St thomas I will kill them. Why don't those whites stay in US and that white man stop leading Jamaica to hell. We need new election, that ugly white man turn my stomach he want more half breed runing around Jamaica. With nasty white men having sex with our kids no no no no to tourism.

And get rid of negative vibes. Big up Portland people and all of jamaican living in Jamaica and abroad. I would like to fly to and from this Portland airport as soon as possible. Please keep Portland clean and safe, because it is one of the best place on earth. Let us set an example and stay proud being a Jamaican living in Jamaica or wherever we may live.

I think this would great for jamaica and the caribbean. Just do not let tourist or money destroy my beautiful island. And also educate the young people and give them jobs. Preserve the farms and rivers. There is a lot of food and fishes in portland. Let us not get greed, because greed kills and hurt each of us in some way.

My father is from the west, mother from the east and husband from near Porti!! I love it the way it is but inorder to boost the economy household disposable income needs to increase! Investing in such a lucrative area as tourism has much benefits for the community and the morale of the youngers going to and leaving school! I would love to live there and the prospect of doing so was bleak until talks of the new airport. I would like to be one of us Portland lovers that would actively combat the bad and enhance the good, rather than debate til time ends the pros and cons.

I agree with the environmental concerns, but i don't foresee the airport being busy enough to outweigh the economic benefits that the eastern parishes will recieve no the posters were right.. i’m from close to duckenfield in Jamaica, and it is in fact in St. Thomas, but its’ right on the portland border.

This too would boost tourism.

Portland or St. Thomas, they are both in need of developments that can contribute to the job market. I am from Portland, I love my parish. One problem though, I am forced to work in Kingston because the lack of employment opportunities especially for University students. I travel back to Portland every weekend and this is because I feel safe and at home. While I welcome the the developments in the tourism sector and opportunity for a feasible job, the previous writers have a point. Polution is a main issue,and also for the parish to lose its greenery. Why not further develop the Ken Jones Air strip in St. Margrets Bay?

I grow up in Portland and left Jamaica since I was 7. When I go home I always visit Portland to see my family. I am even considering moving back there in a couple of years. When you go to the Parish of Portland you the air is different. The Government should continue to improve on the road, to make it safer for visitors. The reason people visit Portland it to see something different than the other tourist part of the Island. Maybe they should advertise more about the visitor seeing the true refreshing island, the purity of the country. Many people love this part of the island. I have bought so many of my friends to the island and travel to Portland, because they always say "we want to see the real Jamaica and the real people" and everyone love Portland the most and each year we continue to travel there. I say leave Portland alone and put the money toward something better, such as education for the children and teaching people trade so that can be equal with the rest of the world.

Keep that in mind when you are destroying the natural beauty of jamaica. what jamaica really needs is not another airport but a very strong sense of national pride the kind of pride you discover when you travel overseas, if you have traveled you know what i mean. but a strong sense of national pride will help jamaicans to see beyond capitalism and see the true benefits of eco friendly developments.
