WESTERN BUREAU:
DESPITE THE current economic challenges afflicting the global travel and tourism industry, Canada continues to outpace Jamaica’s other source markets, except the United States (US), solidifying double-digit growth for the island’s number-one foreign exchange earner - tourism.
..
Tourist arrivals from the North American country at the end of February were at a 23 per cent increase over 2008. Preliminary figures show March even more bullish, confirming Canada in second-place ranking as the most important tourism market for Jamaica.
..
Canadian visitors from Saskat-chewan led the increase with 63.8 per cent growth, followed by a dramatic 89.6 per cent growth in visitors from Newfoundland. There was also an increase in visitors from Western Canada, with 32.7 per cent growth in British Columbia and 29.7 per cent growth in Alberta.

Jamaica is approximately 146 miles long and approximately 35 miles wide. It is the largest of the English-speaking Caribbean Islands, and the third largest island in the Caribbean. It is extremely mountainous, with the highest point being the Blue Mountain Peak, reaching 7,402 feet. The average rainfall annually is 78 inches with an average annual temperatures of 80F. Jamaica has 120 rivers and is described as the land of wood and water. The Island is considered to be the social and cultural center of the Caribbean. No place else in the Caribbean gives the diversity and attractions that Jamaica offers, consequently experienced travelers who have traveled other Islands, will revisit Jamaica again and again. Jamaica has an abundance of scenic views, crystal clear turquoise water, glorious white sand, palm-fringe beaches, cascading waterfalls, a rich cultural heritage and several mineral springs, and is extremely diverse in its entertainment.

To Rise Above
Achieving A High Vibration
All matter is made up of energy, and that energy is in motion continually. Everything in the universe, from the smallest molecules to the most complex living beings, has an optimal rate of vibration to keep it healthy. We reach this high vibrational level when we are whole, healthy, and fulfilling our potential. Human beings are able to consciously control these vibrations within themselves using a variety of techniques. We know when we have reached a high vibrational state because we feel good and can sense that we are aligned with all that is. We find we are capable of healing and have good intuition and perception that are a result of our resonating closer and closer to our ideal frequencies.
