The Department of State has issued new travel advisories for both Jamaica and the Bahamas, urging Americans to “reconsider travel” due to a recent rise in violent crimes, including armed robberies, sexual assault and homicides on the islands.

FAKE NEWS. None of those crimes were against tourists.
Lol chicago, sounds like it needs a travel advisory
July 2023, I went on a solo trip to Montego Bay and stayed at the RIU. The male staff harassed me the ENTIRE time. It was BAD. They had no shame with the open comments or googley eyes. I dared not to even wear a bathing suit b/c I knew the consequences. After 3 days, I switched to a bed and breakfast ran by female staff and it was a COMPLETELY different experience. I filed a complaint to RIU Montego Bay and it went nowhere. ThIs level of misogyny IS NOT like that in the US. AINT NO WAY!!!!
Don't know about Jamaica, haven't visited that one yet or learned of it, but that country the Bahamas is a good example that immigration must be controlled. A study was once done showing that seventy five percent of the crimes committed in the Bahamas was not done by Bahamians. And in the other twenty five percent, the crimes were partly done by people born to people who came there from other Caribbean nations. The country has suffered for decades under the weight of other nations coming there and bringing their own culture. Watch out for people who say they are Bahamians, because many people there and abroad say that they are Bahamians and are not. Many are born to people who came there many years ago. It's a very sad situation there, because the world hears the name of this country, but do not know the truth. The question there is, who are committing these crimes.
We do have Jamaican in the united states. It’s dangerous in the states
Oh Lord
MY GRANDKIDS AND I WILL BE TRAVELING TO JAMAICA IN MARCH. WORSE CRIME EVER IS AMERICA WHERE UNFORTUNATELY I AM FROM. I WILL LOVE TO MOVE TO JAMAICA. FACTS
Just got back from the Bahamas last week and not one time did I feel like my life was in danger..
When is there going to be a travel advisory for Swamperica?
It's been over over 8,000 murders already in the swamp country already
Same as New Orleans, Chicago, D.C., Detroit, Philadelphia, Oakland. There seems to be some shade of a common factor. What could it be?
When they do things like this, it makes me wonder what Jamaica not doing for them. Why the US is putting these type of news out there, crimes are everywhere. Oh, let us not forget the USA and other countries.
Housing prices were going up too fast anyway. Less Americans will be buying houses now and thus not running up prices faster to where Jamaicans can’t afford them at all.
16 -20 yr old doing all these crimes because they don't wanna work.
You Forgot New York City.
All because Jamaica had the Chinese foreign minister in the country recently 🙄 come on that was done in 1980 with Manley already. Try something new this trip
Savages!
The majority of Jamaicas crime is gang related not saying ish can’t happen but 90% of it is in inner city communities .
When will our islands issue ADVISORY for the US against nasty politics, racism and school shooting
Yet hotels and airports are full.
Crimes are targeted in Jamaica and Bahamas. Visitors are fine.
Good we ok without the visitors and vacationers
The money just goes to the whites that not from Jamaica anyways
It not on TikTok so I don't believe title fake news😂😂😂😂
As a citizen living on these carribean island..These people down here dont take crime serious.
The most violent developed country in the world, where guns outnumber people, issuing a travel warning to a country where tourists rarely ever are the victims of crime…hilariously arrogant 🇧🇸❤️
It's more unsafe to live in the U.S. than Jamaica or the Bahamas ain't no mass shooting going on here in the Caribbean and criminal heredon't unalive white people
gave this video a thumbs down!
This don't look good for the country that fi show you our government failed us.
I see everything mentioned here happening at an increase rate in some American state. Crime everywhere is just sad.
Sometimes I wonder how the USA is telling people not to travel to Jamaica and look how many mass shooting as taken place from the year started just saying…
But no one has named these resorts.
I would like to know the advisory for when I fly into Chicago from abroad. Every country got their issues, I would still travel to Brazil and Mexico but not stupid enough to travel into zones where it's not safe
People still going to go,no matter what
I would take Bahamas and Jamaica over Bronx NY any day 😅😂
