Ocho Rios, or "Ochee" as it is known locally, has experienced such explosive growth over the last decade that few people can recall the sleepy fishing village, bauxite port and stream-laced nirvana that once existed.

Today it is a high density town of concrete hotels, condominium complexes, office blocks, multiple shopping centres and extreme traffic congestion but still one of the favourite cruise ship ports in the Caribbean. The economy of the town is based almost entirely on tourism.
