$[$The Sunday Gleaner, August $25,2019]$ Staff members at some of Jamaica$$s top hotels are$$ reportedly sexually harassed by guests, while their managers turn a blind eye or threaten them$$ with dismissal if they speak out. It is such behavioural concerns and victimisation within the$$ tourism sector that Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett said the Government hopes to tackle with$$ the release of a tourism guidebook in late $2019.$

In August $2019,$ a group of hotel workers who asked not to be identified, shared with The Sunday$$ Gleaner instances of sexual abuse by guests at hotels in Jamaica that are seldom discussed or$$ reported for fear of embarrassing guests and the hotel, or fear of victimisation.$$

$$Most of the time we will say things to our guests to not offend them or make them feel bad but$$ I never expected the man $($guest$)$ to think that I liked him too,$$ explained one young woman,recounting a traumatic incident that followed a complaint from a flirtatious elderly guest$$ recently. $$He just went off. He backed me up in the lobby with everybody $$ manager, staff, even$$ his wife $$ looking, and he just grabbed me and started kissing me$.$ Not one of them helped or$$ said anything. Everybody stood there and laughed like nothing was wrong.$$
