このコンテンツについて
Local authorities and the tourism industry have put considerable effort into enhancing security, especially in major tourist destinations such as Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Negril. These resort areas are widely regarded as safe; however, violent crimes including armed robbery and sexual assault can still occur, particularly in parts of Kingston, Spanish Town, and some outlying neighborhoods. The U.S. Embassy, as well as the Canadian and UK governments, advise that travelers minimize risk by staying within tourist zones, booking official tours, and using reputable transportation options.
Island Dream Tour and the Canadian government both highlight the importance of avoiding public buses due to higher crime rates and opting instead for official taxis with red-and-white “PP” license plates and JUTA (Jamaica Union of Travellers Association) approval. Hotels often arrange safe ground transfers and recommend not traveling between cities after dark.
Petty theft and pickpocketing remain the most common risks for tourists. Listeners are encouraged to keep belongings secure, avoid displaying expensive jewelry, refrain from walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, and avoid using unmarked taxis. Modern ridesharing apps do provide a safer alternative, especially in urban centers.
When it comes to health, the Canadian government reminds visitors that Jamaican healthcare facilities, especially outside major cities, may not match North American or European standards. It’s advised to bring necessary medications, a travel health kit, and maintain robust travel insurance coverage.
Road travel in Jamaica presents its own hazards, as many roads are poorly maintained and road conditions can be hazardous, especially in rural or hilly areas. The UK government notes that British nationals and other foreign visitors have occasionally been targeted on airport transfer routes. Using routes recommended by local hotels, such as the safer Humming Bird route from Kingston’s Norman Manley International Airport, is strongly suggested. Drivers and front-seat passengers must wear seatbelts, and motorcyclists are required to wear helmets.
In summary, Jamaica’s 2025 outlook for travelers is notably more positive than in recent years. The island’s spectacular beaches, iconic attractions like Dunn’s River Falls and Seven Mile Beach, and its unique cultural experiences await. With mindful precautions—such as sticking to resort areas, booking through reputable agencies, using official or authorized transportation, and securing valuables—listeners can enjoy everything Jamaica has to offer with confidence and peace of mind.
