In general, Jamaica’s infrastructure is among the best developed in the Caribbean. Especially in tourist areas, both private and government investments have been made in road construction and telecommunications. The main roads are usually asphalted but can sometimes be in poor condition. Rail transport also plays a central role: like most former British colonies, Jamaica has an extensive rail network, totaling 57 kilometers, operated by the mining company Alcan. They are primarily used for bauxite transport. As for air travel, Jamaica has two international airports, with Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay being the larger one. Almost all major airlines fly to at least one of the two airports. Shipping is also of great importance: The port facilities are mainly used for bauxite transport.
