The Caribbean is home to some of the most beautiful locales in the world. From sandy beaches to tropical shores, the
islands of the Caribbean have no equal anywhere in the world.
While the islands are awe inspiring in their own right, it is the peoples of the Caribbean islands that make vacationing
in this paradise a life changing experience. There are so many cultures, languages, customs and smiles to be seen, and
each island nation makes their own unique addition to the Caribbean culture as a whole.
Many of the islands were a part of the empire of a European monarchy at one time, and even though most are now sovereign
and independent, the cultural influences of their previous ruling nations have intemingled with the rich traditions and
cultures of the new Caribbean nations to produce a flavor that is unknown anywhere else.
The Caribbean Islands are part of an archipeligo 2,500 miles long and 160 miles wide. There are more than 7,000 islands,
reefs, cays, and islets. The region is home to more than 38 million Caribbeans.
Tourists flock to the Caribbean Islands for a variety of reasons. The year-round moderate climate, beautiful geography,
and duty-free incentives are a few of these. Tourism is by far the largest export for the region, and many of the
caribbean governments have created incentives to attract tourists. Many islands have areas where there is no duty or
taxes on certain items, and many great deals on jewelry, watches, electronics, precious metals and gems can be found.
The artistry of the local craftsmen is astounding, and pieces from artists in the region can be found in museums and
galleries around the world. The Caribbean themes often include vibrant colors, detailed scenic panoramas, and cultural
stories.
The cuisine of the Caribbean region is unlike any other, and there are many traditional island dishes to be sampled. A
variety of spices, from 'mild and full of flavor' to 'take me to the hosptial my tongue is on fire' and everything in
between. Several of the best dishes include ingredients that are only found in the Caribbean, and sometimes only on that
particular island. If you are adventurous, make sure to try as many local favorites as possible as you may not find them
anywhere else in the world.
