The number of tourists visiting Jamaica has grown every year since 2002. Bartlett explains Jamaica is the most connected destination in the Caribbean, with travelers coming to visit from almost everywhere. Jamaica would like to increase the number of tourists it welcomes from Asia. Bartlett says Jamaica is embracing experiential elements for tourists such as food, art, entertainment, and more. Bartlett notes there hasn't been one case of the Zika virus in Jamaica in the past two years.

Tesla sales jump after months of boycotts
Tesla reported a surprise increase in sales in the third quarter as the electric car maker likely benefited from a rush by consumers to take advantage of a $7,500 credit before it expired on Sept. 30. The company reported Thursday that sales in the three months through September rose 7% compared to the same period a year ago.

Sales rose to 497,099 vehicles, compared with 462,890 in the same period last year.
