There has never been a better time to travel to Barbados – with a healthy boost in tourism figures and appointment of new Tourism Minister Richard Sealy, the island continues to thrive. Additionally, exciting new developments are taking place on island, including the Four Seasons, and the luxurious Apes Hill Club – 470-acre upscale community featuring world-class golf and polo facilities. According to the newly published 2008 Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report, issued by the World Economic Forum, Barbados is the highest-ranked country in the Latin America and Caribbean region, at 29th overall. Barbados is ranked number two for the country’s affinity for Travel & Tourism, with a positive attitude toward tourists and toward the value of tourism in the country. As we leave spring and come into summer, prices will come down to attract more visitors to the island. The 2008 “Best of Barbados” package allows travelers to experience the best of both worlds – to book a Barbados vacation while simultaneously saving money. Similarly, this is the first time that we will offer a bonus ‘September Special,’ with additional free room nights and extra air credit. With recent visitors to Barbados, including Rihanna and her homecoming event, as well as the historic freedom schooner, Amistad, these perfectly demonstrate Barbados’ multi-faceted product, and the many experiences travelers can have from a visit to our island. We hope you, your friends, and clients will visit us soon. Explore the island full of wonders that is Barbados…my home away from home. Sincerely, Richard Williams, Vice President of Marketing, The Americas
