Cultural & Historic Resources

Chapter Introduction

Jamaica is rich in historic sites, buildings and monuments, and attracts the attention of archeologists and historians from all over the world. These sites reflect the various colonial and native interactions of our history, and are found in all parishes as well as offshore. Heritage tourism is a relatively new area of interest to Jamaica, and has great potential for diversifying the tourism product, for revenues, and for supporting restoration of historic sites. The integration of cultural and nature tourism into a coherent ecotourism programme requires further attention of the appropriate authorities and the private sector
