I have created this new page entitled "Caribbean Tourism" as a part of a project I am currently taking part in at my school. I am a 4th year history student in University. I hope more individuals will be able to add information onto this new pagetydj

. As everyone can see, I provided information along with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. This is to ensure the readers that my information comes from credible sources. Enjoy! --DancinChica0514 04:51, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I have cleaned up my article and have added footnotes/reference list at the end. ---- DancinChica0514 (talk) 19:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I added some internal links within my article to direct readers to other Wikipedia pages --DancinChica0514 (talk) 20:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== Delete anecdotal Daily Mail example of sex tourism ==

I deleted the sentence that said something like "Sex tourism is an unquanitified part of the economy, with older US/European women the predominant clientele" or something like that. First off, saying something is an "unquantified" part of something else offers zero information. "Small, that the extent not known" says something, unquantified does not. Second, one single tabloid article about older women as sex tourists is not the basis for claiming women are dominant, major, or even significant portion of clientele. Third, The Daily Mail is near the bottom of the list of sources who should be trusted enough to cite in Wikipedia. I have substituted a sentence that states the extent of what can be concluded from the Daily Mail article. There must be better sources out there on sex tourism in Martinique, so if you can't find and cite them, it's not worth mentioning here.

Outline for Impacts of Caribbean Tourism: Economic Impacts: -Dominates the economy of some nations. -Seasonal layoffs -Increase of mostly lower level jobs. Environmental impacts: -Overuse of resources in already low resource areas -Reclamation of land for resort development -Increased beach and preserve traffic -Increased spread of disease. Cultural Impacts: -Expectation of subservience -Disappearance of culture to accommodate tourists -Exploitation of cultural practices and rituals to draw tourists.

Do you have good sources for economic and environmental data to support the information you're adding? CARICOM and The World Bank are good places to start.

You might also clean up some of the citations that are already there (some of them are incomplete). Katherine.Holt (talk) 15:18, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

I think this is a very solid draft that you added to this article. Be careful of a few qualifiers that are at the beginning of some of your sentences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abloom18 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
