Caribbean cornucopia of even more sustainable delights
In this second Caribbean edition of Vision Expressed, we outline yet another swathe of sustainable tourism developments in the Caribbean.
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.
