Before you leave home, it's worth contacting the
Jamaica
Tourist Board(JTB),
which will send out brochures on the main tourist
attractions, schedules of events, accommodation listings
and a good road
map. Once in Jamaica, you can get the same information
from JTB desks at the Kingston
and Montego
Bay airports,
and JTB offices in the main towns.
Jamaica has no
entertainment listings magazine , so to find out what's
going on, you have to rely on the radio (particularly Irie FM),
newspapers, and flyers and
banners
posted up around the towns. The best road
map is Discover
Jamaica, distributed free by JTB offices abroad
and on the island.
