Wednesday, 07 Aug, 2011 0

Well known for its combination of sustainable tourism and fabulous destinations the Caribbean countries are ready to take relaxation and experience to another level

In this edition of Vision Expressed, we concentrate on the Caribbean – for very good reasons.
Firstly the Caribbean countries have been at the forefront of the sustainable tourism movement for many years now. More than most, they realize just how critical the whole sustainable ethos is to their survival as one of the world’s great tourism destinations.

Secondly they know just how much sustainability can help to drive their innate hospitality and heartwarming welcomes to another level in their quest to delight visitors.

Thirdly, each and every Caribbean tourism professional, at every level in the industry, has a deep desire to deliver the very best in service to inspire wonderfully relaxed stays and sustainability is the only way to ensure this.

Finally, more than many destinations, community tourism offers are both integral to the Caribbean tourism product and fundamental in dividing the benefits of tourism.
In this issue you will find:

A wonderful feast of events and festivals: the wide variety of summer festivals, the Festival de mar in Anguilla and the festive performance of the Caribbean’s rising tourism stars.

Superb accommodation, food and hospitality: the Bougainvillea Beach energy initiative, Dominica’s culinary award, Suriname’s ecotourism and Grenada’s BIG breakfast.

Sensational sites and attractions include: the Montserrat museum, all the Caribbean’s world heritage sites, whale watching in Dominica, trekking by air in Barbados and an unusual sugar museum in Trinidad and Tobago and heritage tourism in Jamaica.

And to keep all this state of the art a swathe of projects and initiatives including: the Travel Foundation, Spice Ambassadors, Disaster Management, Caribbean Energy project and community tourism development.

Truly a warm sunny sustainable feast!
