Economy

Chapter Introduction

The transformation of the Jamaican economy from its dependence on sugar and bananas began in the 1950s, with the establishment and growth of the bauxite/alumina sector, manufacturing, and the emergence of tourism. These three sectors still earn the most foreign exchange for the country. Tourism is the principal earner of foreign exchange, with Eco-tourism a growing marketing approach. Clearly Jamaica's economy depends on its environment and natural resources.
