If you were thinking of taking a beach vacation in the Bahamas or Jamaica, you may need to rethink your plans immediately because, despite having the most alluring cruise lines, the Caribbean is still known for having a high rate of crime.
According to the Miami Herald, the US State Department has warned travelers about a recent surge in crimes in the Bahamas and Jamaica with two cautions.
While the recent Level Two warning in the Bahamas recommends extreme caution owing to crime-related difficulties in both tourist and non-tourist regions, Jamaica’s Level Three recommendation warns about probable shortages in medical treatment.
Violent crimes, including armed robberies, sexual assaults, and break-ins, can happen in both tourist and non-tourist regions.
