By Geoff McCabe Dominica - Island of Dominica Real Estate Investment In Dominica - The "Nature" Island Of The Caribbean  By Deb Andrews Real Estate Investment In Dominica - The "Nature" Island Of The Caribbean - The main attractions?... its untamed, unspoiled tropical countryside, the Dominican people's natural pride and understanding of environmental stewardship and the chance to be a part of that heritage. Why now? ....formerly it has not been easy to make a living in Dominica, but things are now changing.  Improved infrastructure and communications, a stable government and support from external organizations are contributing to making the country attractive to outside investment.  For example, a new 10 million dollar US harbour, is being built in Marigot, on a Japanese grant. This will provide shelter and a centre for fisherman, and a deepwater dock, which amongst other benefits, will allow the big French ferries which run between Martinique and Guadelope, to stop on the eastern side of Dominica. This substantial increase in the movement of goods and people between the Carib Territory, and larger towns on the eastern coast such as Castle Bruce, Wesley and Marigot and the big industrialised French islands will have a large impact.  ~ By Deb Andrews

Real Estate Investment In The Caribbean - Nevis

By Deb Andrews

Real Estate Investment In The Caribbean - Nevis - The whole country has an air of gentle permanence and delapidated sophistication which shows in its lovely old colonial style stonework and timber architecture, road system and the open spaces between the local homes and gardens, amongst others. It has that rare feel that you don’t get in most of the English speaking Eastern Caribbean, that someone planned the infrastructure, that there is (or was) an underlying purpose. - By Claudia Gonella

Nicaragua's democratically elected government is showing a great capacity to reform in line with its commitment to a free-market economy.  The country is booming and tourism is now the number-one industry, increasing by over 19% in 2005 even considering a record-breaking year in 2004.   There is a real buzz in the air for this land of opportunity.  Whether you are looking for a retirement or vacation destination, a place to start a business or a place to invest for the future, Nicaragua is definitely worth considering.

Travels In The Caribbean - Dominica And Antigua

By Deb Andrews

Travels In The Caribbean - Dominica And Antigua - There is an undeniable magic about Dominica, it hovers in the universal sound of falling water, in the misty green mountains and vowel-heavy Creole spoken on every village street. Take care, this region of magic is inhabited by “jumbies”, entities who are not known for their kindness to people. - Antiguans are feeling their freedom. After many years of a single family regime ruling the nation, they revel in the freshness of a new government voted in last year in March 2004. Everyone has something to say about where Antigua is going and how they are getting there, and what they are going to do when they arrive.

Real Estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands

By Bernadette Hunt

Real Estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands - Random thoughts on currency fluctuations and investment opportunities for Europeans considering the Turks & Caicos real estate market. "There's an shared view among many with broader investment experience than me, that because the Turks & Caicos has a fresher product and better beaches than Cayman the "real estate" tables will likely turn in 5 to 10 years with the Turks & Caicos leading the island nations of the Caribbean Basin (and the North Atlantic) in terms of pricing."
