Jamaica Goes on Tour! What started out as a real estate based campaign is quickly turning into a movement, a movement to better Jamaica and its people.

THE CONCEPT The BUY BACK JAMAICA concept stemmed from a single source: the Caribbean Real Estate Investment Fund (CAREIF Ltd). The BUY BACK JAMAICA concept, which was coined from the fact that laws that formally allowed all Jamaicans access to use beaches openly over the last 15-20 years are being largely ignored. Representatives of CAREIF have stated that there is a large influx of foreign investors who are purchasing beachfront properties and privatizing them, leaving them in accessible to the public. The concept then grew into something that was more important.

THE BEGINNING OF A MOVEMENT

What started out as a real estate based campaign quickly reflected a very simple principle; Jamaicans who believe in building and maintaining a strong national economy coupled with national pride must come together to proactively do so. It was now more than about land it was about owning Jamaica, and its productive capacity is the only way to a strong economic future for all our people living here as well as internationally. This was now an opportunity to build strong bonds which will strengthen Jamaica's presence as well as influence wherever we reside or work in the world. A strong Jamaican global presence will occur when we have a strong Jamaican economy and quality of life. The Buy Back Jamaica plan and Tour will achieve the aforementioned primary objective. Mr. Anthony Tharpe, CEO of CAREIF Ltd has stated that "It's very important for all our people living in Jamaica and in the Diaspora to understand the philosophy behind CAREIF's 6-city Trade Tour. It's really about forming alliances between ourselves as a people; therefore creating our own Jamaican community both online as well as in actuality."

BENEFITS THROUGH PARTNERSHIP

To ensure that the campaign benefits every Jamaican who participates, CAREIF LTD has structured the process to financially benefit every person who forms this alliance and partnership between individuals and a corporate body, long into their future. The companies and organizations being invited to participate in and on the tour, to six major cities; Miami, Atlanta, Washington, New York, Toronto and London, will have a major role to play in exposing the Jamaican community to all areas of their immediate concern. The tour therefore seeks to cover economic, social, as well as security issues in the land of our birth. It will bring to the Diaspora, not just the product, services and opportunities available on the island or throughout the Caribbean, but the means to get involved in a manner consistent to the empowerment of all who participate.

The Tour will help you to build your country either from a business or charitable perspective. CAREIF LTD has also invited other charitable organizations to support this tour. By exposing the available areas that Jamaicans living abroad can participate to reduce poverty and or emergency situations within the island Jamaicans can now identify where and how they may participate. This tour which will be marketed to over 5 million Jamaican nationals will provide an opportunity for businesses to promote their services in these cities. CAREIF will also offer participants, links on their website as long as your organization seeks to contribute positively to Jamaicans living whether here in Jamaica or in the Diaspora. This tour is for you to discover and make your contribution to the progress of the people of Jamaican; of whom you are apart, and the Caribbean as a whole, starting firstly at home. CEO of CAREIF Ltd, Mr. Anthony Tharpe has stated that "This is the kind of partnership between industry and people that will positively build the economy. This is an opportunity to build strong bonds which will strengthen our presence as well as influence wherever we reside or work in the world.”
