The theme of every vacation is to relax to the max. See pages 14-15 for excursions. THROUGH THE DECADES In 1890, the Jamaica Hotels Law was passed to encourage hotel construction. This is widely considered to be the kick-off year to Jamaica’s tourism. The popular tourist area of Ocho Rios takes off in 1948 with the opening of the Tower Isle Hotel.74
