Jamaica (pronounced /dʒəˈmeɪkə/) is an island nation of the Greater Antilles, 234 kilometres (145 mi) in length and as much as 80 kilometres (50 mi) in width, amounting to 11,100 km. It is situated in the Caribbean Sea, about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of Cuba, and 190 kilometres (120 mi) west of Hispaniola, the island harboring the nation-states Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Its indigenous Arawakan-speaking Taíno inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning the "Land of Wood and Water", or the "Land of Springs". Formerly a Spanish possession known as Santiago, it later became the British Crown colony of Jamaica. With 2.8 million people, it is the third most populous anglophone country in North America, after the United States and Canada. It remains a Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State. Kingston is the largest city in Jamaica and the country's capital.

What services would most benefit the people of Jamaica?
Q. I'm looking to start a business in Jamaica that would benefit the people. I don't want to start up another tourist attraction, for I believe it is not helping the citizens. In fact, I know most of these attractions benefit a small minority of "foreigners" who come into the country, seek profit, and could careless about the average citizen of Jamaica. I've been brainstorming but would like some opinions of Jamaicans or people who have experienced Jamaica or any related developing country.
