Honeymoons are considered very memorable moments for couples, which is why it needs to be celebrated in an equally-special place. Speaking of special, how about something out of the ordinary? Better yet, out of the country...such as Jamaica.
Jamaica has been a popular tourist destination ever since old people and invalids from England and North America started to come in the last part of the nineteenth century. Most of these visitors come in to escape the cold winter weather. The first hotels and resorts in Jamaica were constructed in Montego Bay and Port Antonio. However, tourism picked up at the end of World War I as transportation became more accessible.
From a few thousand visitors during the 1920s, the number tourists grew to about 64,000 in 1938, 104.000 in 1952, 345,000 in 1966, and by 1988, a million tourists have visited the country which Christophen Columbus described as the "fairest isle that eyes ever beheld." Today, millions of visitors have fueled the growth of the tourism industry, generating more than half of the country's foreign exchange earnings and one-fourth of the country's jobs.
Montego Bay is Jamaica's tourism capital which boasts white sand beaches, golf courses, shopping establishments, restaurants, and a energetic nightlife. In terms of resorts in Jamaica, the Montego Bay area is known for its superb selection of hotels, ranging from the expensive ones to really remarkable bargains. Most of the downtown hotels are located along the "Hip Strip". For couples on honeymoon, a number of excellent resorts in Jamaica are available. However, reservations are required and recommended.
