Rawlus of Trip Advisor wrote this as a soft open to this new map. I really think he sums it up best.
Thank You Rawlus.
A
group of Negrilaholics, friends, and entrepreneurs got together a few
months ago to begin a project that grew to be larger than they probably
ever imagined with an opportunity to benefit more people than they ever
thought possible. United under the cause of helping the children of
Jamaica, these individuals exchanged hundreds of emails, donated
countless volunteer hours, and walked the same miles of beach and road
over and over again to bring the Negril Map Project to light.
What
resulted from this dedicated effort is probably one of the most
comprehensive records of establishments, lodging, eateries and venues
along the 7-mile beach and bloody bay that Negril has yet seen. And
work is well underway on completing the project by documenting the West
End Cliffs.
The
group felt there was a real need for this map - one which does not
judge the establishment based upon advertising dollars spent or
business membership level. They have made every attempt possible to
include every legitimate business in operation at the time of
accounting with very few exceptions, many of which are accidental
oversights and will be incorporated into a future version when the West
End is complete.
The inspiration for this map was as a vehicle to help raise awareness of Jamaica's Children and the opportunities to help
them by way of your generous donations, school supplies and personal care items.
