- W1932156782 abstract "Notwithstanding its hosting of a rather impressive International Exhibition in 1891 (an event designed in part to propel the take-off of the tourist traffic to the island),1 the biggest obstacle to the growth in the number of vacationers to Jamaica was still, at the turn of the twentieth century, the dearth of information abroad concerning the island. 'At home,' as one Englishman candidly informed, 'we are apt to think of the West Indies as a scattered group of poverty stricken islands, barren of riches, planted somewhere in some tropical sea, and periodically reduced to absolute desolation by hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes. The poverty of the West Indies is proverbial... That is all that is generally known of the great islands of the Caribbean Sea'.2 Tropical disaster (for example, the 1902 eruptions of Mount Pelee in Martinique and Souffriere in St. Vincent, or the 1907 earthquake that devastated Kingston); tropical heat; tropical insects, with noxious stings and bites; tropical diseases these were still significant elements in popular impressions abroad, of these self-styled holiday havens as the twentieth century dawned.3 Were Jamaica to be developed as a resort, an intensive promotional campaign was required to rid the islands of its lingering notoriety as a demographic disaster area and, in particular, its residual stigma as a hotbed of tropical fever.
