The Bad Side:
However, venturing beyond the postcard-perfect beaches also reveals some of the challenges faced by Jamaica. Economic disparities, poverty, and crime are realities that coexist with the island’s beauty. In some areas, infrastructure is underdeveloped, and communities struggle with limited access to resources and opportunities.
