The Dominican Republic has a much stronger economy than Jamaica.  Per capita income is nearly 50% higher, inflation much lower, and public debt as a percentage of GDP is much lower.\n\nHowever, the distribution of income is better in Jamaica.  Unemployment in the Dominican Republic is 17% and 25% of the people live below the poverty line.  In Jamaica, unemployment is 11.5% and 19% of the people live below the poverty line.

Wikipèdia says "The West Indies may be  * the Caribbean". So, yes.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Indies\nBut I wouldn't know abot considering them for your project because Latin America is a zone where Spanish is spoken, and not in all the Caribbean is this language spoken. OTOH; there are different definitions for Latin America.\n\nTry here for your project:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America\n\nPerhaps they didn't mean to say that Latin America was divided into "regions" but that you chose a "region" or a "zone".

I've been to Jamaica, Cancun and the Bahamas.  Out of all three of them, visiting the Bahamas was my favorite.  It was probably more Americanized than the other two, but I felt safe, had fun, and am ready to go back again.  Cancun was by far, the prettiest out of all three, and made for a romantic honeymoon.  Jamaica was OK, but as we drove to our resort, we felt so terrible for the people and how poor the country seemed to be.  We didn't feel as safe, and the food was terrible.  It was pretty, but it rained the entire time.

I have traveled the world 6 times and I always go to Jamaica for my rest and recreation...It's no different than any other islands or the beaches in the U.S., but it's the people that make the difference....From Ocho Rios to Negril, I have never had a bad moment.....It's wonderful....

I am not sure who produces the most.  It is my opinion that Ireland produces the best.

Certainly Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad has large offshore reserves and most of the major oil companies are present there. Barbados has a small oil production industry. Cuba also has some oil reserves. The three combined have 1.74 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and 28.4 Tcf of natural gas. Trinidad and Tobago 990 billion barrels of oil reserves and about 26 Tcf of the natural gas reserves. Cuba is second in reserves in the Caribbean with 750 million barrels of oil reserves and 2.5 Tcf of natural gas. Jamaica, Grenada and the Bahamas have all tried to generate interest in exploration from oil companies.  So far the Bahamas have leased nine offshore blocks covering 6.5 million acres but no wells have been drilled as seismic data is being acquired.

Dominican Republic because they have many good players like David Ortiz,Pedro Martinez,Miguel Tejada,eth. But,the USA could make it to the finals against the Dominican Republic and lose. I hate to say that but the Dominican Republic is better.

Have expenses gone up that much?  When I lived in the Caribbean, $30,000 per year would go a long, long way.  Are you talking about $30,000 American or $30,000 in EC dollars or Jamaican dollars or something?\n\nBasically, just like anywhere else, you need to learn to live on less spending...budget your income.\n\nI've lived on a lot less in a city where expenses are a lot higher.  And the weather up here isn't so great.  Living on $30,000 a year in the Caribbean doesn't sound like a bad lifestyle to me.

I got married on St. Lucia at an all inclusive resort, "sandals". We had a GREAT time and it was VERY easy to do. We just told all the people who wanted to come, to meet us there. We didn't have to take care of anyone but ourselves. I reccommend it highly. We stayed at the St. Lucian Grande. It was the largest resort on the island. They took care of all the legal work, and it was all legal when we got back to the United States.

In the Dominican Republic the currency is the Dominican peso(DOP).  1 US Dollar is equivalent to about 32 pesos.\n1, 5 and 10 pesos come in coins and then the others come in paper bills.

The University of the West Indies, in Mona, Jamaica, has a program.  While I am not familiar with this program, I know of people who have trained in some of the othe programs of the university, including medical and dental, and have gotten very good educations.

For a short speech (3-5 minutes) you could talk about how Jamaica is culturally unique compared to surrounding islands, essentially talking about what things Jamaica offers the world.\n\nFor a longer speech (5-8 minutes) you could talk about the history of Jamaica from being an independent island to growing sugar under British rule to the slave rebellions and independence to what is now a world-famous tourist destination.\n\nFor a really long speech (10-20 minutes), you could talk about what is required to get a summer job in Jamaica.  You could talk about the various industries that hire temporary workers for the summer season, what work permits are required, how to get to Jamaica, where to stay while you're there, and to top it off, it would look really good if you called one of the resorts and asked them what percentage of workers they hire are non-Jamaican.
