Living, Working and Investing in the Caribbean | SUSTAINABLE DESTINATIONS 2007 SCORES BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
By Caribpro Source  | National Geographic releases its 2007 Sustainable Destinations report.
Published online in the November/December magazine, the report sets out "To see how the integrity of islands around the world is holding up, Traveler and National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations conducted a fourth annual Destination Scorecard survey, aided by George Washington University. | A panel of 522 experts in sustainable tourism and destination stewardship donated time to review conditions in these 111 selected islands and archipelagos. The scores that follow reflect the experts' opinions." Guide to the Scores:
0-25: Catastrophic: all criteria very negative, outlook grim.
26-49: In serious trouble.
50-65: In moderate trouble: all criteria medium-negative or a mix of negatives and positives.
66-85: Minor difficulties.
86-95: Authentic, unspoiled, and likely to remain so.
96-100: Enhanced. | Dominica | 77
| "A serious dichotomy between lip service to preserving and protecting its wilderness, which is the major product, and the soliciting of more cruise ships, the proposed oil refinery, and support for Japan on the whaling issue." | | Grenadines | 77
| "One of the last, best hopes of the Caribbean. Bequia is a gem and the Tobago Cays, though overrun with boats, remain the best place to snorkel in the region. The only inauthentic place is Mustique and the two private resort islands." | St. John
| 70
| "St. John is the best in the Caribbean. Much of its natural environment has been saved by the Park Service and ecologically minded business people. Its long term prospects, especially for the locals, will depend on good sustainable tourism management." | Nevis
| 70
| "Great natural and historic beauty, but paradise is under serious threat. The government has ambitions to construct more resorts, which would be unsustainable both environmentally and socially (workers would need to come from elsewhere). The famous coconut plantations are dying thanks to a virus introduced via unquarantined plant stock imported by a luxury resort." | Anguilla
| 70
| "Tremendous aesthetic appeal with pristine beaches and healthy reef system. Tourism is up-market and low density. Large hotels have altered formerly pristine coastal settings, damaged archaeological sites, and required the importation of labor." | St. Vincent
| 68
| "Good terrestrial and marine ecological quality. Conservative, religious (Christians), and friendly people, mostly agrarian. Low development contributes to pleasing aesthetics. Expanding tourism development, especially along coastal areas, relatively small scale. Many local people employed in tourism." | Bonaire
| 68
| "Stewardship of natural environment has been a hallmark of Bonaire, yet island is now poised to become overdeveloped, and sewage treatment is minimal." | Tobago
| 66
| "Charming with its laid-back rural ambience, beautiful beaches, reefs, and rain forest. A close-knit, strongly religious society. Long history of environmental stewardship. Environmental challenges stem from fast-paced Trinidad investors." | Bermuda
| 66
| "One of the most crowded places on Earth, and one of the tidiest. There is a remarkable dedication to the preservation of its archaeological, historic, and maritime heritage." | Bahamas
| 66
| "Some of the most beautiful islands in the world but are being threatened by big development, second homes, and a loss of everything Bahamian. Still there are some special places like Andros, San Salvador, and Inagua." | | St. Lucia | 64 | "Upcoming 'star' destination in the Caribbean. Extremely attractive, natural, lush beauty. New fame could lead to overdevelopment." | Martinique
| 62
| "Developed vis-à-vis other Caribbean islands due to its status as a French Overseas Department, but not overly so. Sustainable developments include alternative energy productions, i.e., wind, geothermal, and solar. Small, locally beneficial rural development projects in agritourism, nature tourism, etc. A balanced mix of the all-inclusive type of tourism, i.e., Club Med, and smaller, more independent hotels, etc." | Barbados
| 62
| "Bajan culture is strong and evident, and locals relate warmly to visitors. However, the volumes of cruise visitors overwhelm Bridgetown and bring far fewer benefits than stay-over visitors. The agricultural
landscape is aesthetically appealing." | Tortola BVI
| 61
| "Tortola is rapidly experiencing the problems of mass-tourism destinations, thereby losing its charm and uniqueness. Blame the cruise ships, poor land-use planning, and high-density development. Its sister islands in the BVI are far more attractive." | St. Kitts
| 59
| "Fragile ecosystems are under pressure from infrastructure and property development. Historic structures start to be appropriated and 'Disneyfied.' St. Kitts has opted for large resorts, casinos, golf courses, and cruise ships over smaller-scale tourism. With pending development of the so-far unspoiled southern peninsula by luxury chains, the wild beauty will be gone." | Grenada
| 59
|
"A special place with rich culture, heritage, and biodiversity. Development is coming in and the government is so desperate they are selling off protected areas." | Curacao
| 57
| "Ideal climate, nice beaches, and cultural and architectonical values make it attractive for different types of tourism; some more appropriate than others. Other economic interests compete with tourism and the environment. The economic situation of high debt and slow growth have not helped to improve stewardship practices and policies." | Isla Mujeres, Mexico
| 55
| "The island bears little resemblance to its former incarnation. Yet, while it's very touristy, the Mexican government should be commended for its measures to protect the island and reef areas. Much is off-limits to undersea activities. Above ground, a small archaeological site is maintained fairly well." | Guadeloupe
| 55
| "A relatively large island with moderate population density. As a French Overseas Department, it is subject to European environmental standards. Renewable energy already being used: geothermal, wind farms, and solar panels. Tourism is predominantly of the mass type on the beach, but a growing consciousness of sustainability is emerging." | St. Croix
| 53
| "Social and cultural integrity the most intact of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Environment was drastically changed in the plantation era—a part of cultural heritage. Crime is a major problem, as is water quality on many beaches. Could be sustainable if rampant development is kept in check. Hotels mainly big, with a big footprint on the island. Few locals benefit from tourism. A real West Indian island where locals work and live, not a tourism-dedicated playground."
| Puerto Rico
| 51
| "Suffering from too many people, both residents and tourists, and too little environmental sensitivity on the part of both."
| Antigua
| 50
| "Classic mass tourism destination. Emphasis on beach tourism. Hotels are generally not energy-conscious. The island has a severe problem with disposal of solid waste. Because hotels are mostly foreign-owned, the local population only receives lower-end wages. The major assets, the beaches, are in danger of overuse and erosion."
| Aruba
| 48
| "Massive development of high-rise hotels on the west end results in serious traffic congestion. Also heavy dependence for hotel workers on expatriate labor. Cruise ships have resulted in a tacky downtown."
| | St. Maarten | 47
| "The Dutch side is a mess: out of control high-rise and strip development, loss of community character, traffic congestion, and schlock. The French side looks great by comparison."
| Roatan, Bay Islands
| 47
| "Roatan is a cancerous growth slowly spreading to the north coast of Honduras. It is a greed-driven, unsustainable tourism model, degrading its terrestrial habitat and the surrounding reef system. Most
businesses are owned by Americans, and short-term return on investment is paramount."
| Grand Cayman
| 47
| "Grand Cayman is worthwhile only as a gateway to Cayman Brac or Little Cayman. The two smaller islands are delightful. Grand Cayman might as well be South Florida."
| Cozumel
| 47
| "Up to a dozen cruise ships visit at once. Port is essentially jewelry and curio shops. Island is water short. New cruise ship dock is nearly atop Paraiso reef and next to Chankanaab ecological site, Some sites are well managed and protected, but overall the island is stressed, particularly as most ships arrive at the same time."
| Providenciales, T&C
| 44
| "Once a raw, romantic coastline, now a strip of mega-hotels on an increasingly crowded beach. Thankfully, surrounding islands are seeing Providenciales as a cautionary tale."
| Jamaica
| 44
| "Both beautiful and ominous. The crime situation is well known, and the all-inclusive resort industry isolates foreign tourists from the country to an extreme degree. Over-fishing has taken a serious toll, and the national parks are under siege."
| St. Thomas
| 37
| "Must have been a lovely place before it became the shopping mall for cruise ships. Still some pretty beaches away from the shoppers and stunning views from steep hills."

 | CONSERVATIONISTS WIN CRUCIAL VICTORY WITH THE RESCUE OF THE BACALAR CHICA NATIONAL PARK AND RESERVE IN BELIZE
By Caribpro Source
|  | A large turnout, intense protest and public outcry carried out over the internet can all be credited as major factors in the rescuing of the Bacalar Chica National Park and Marine Reserve, a significant protected areas along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in Belize. | In 1996, the national park was one of seven sites along the reef designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System. After a critical meeting held between both parties in Belmopan this week, the Belizean government has fully agreed to the demands of the conservationist’s group APAMO – the Association of Protected Areas Management Organizations. The GOP, represented by the Minister of Natural Resources, as well as senior officers and officials from the Ministries of Natural Resources, Foreign Affairs, Fisheries and the Departments of Lands and Environment, agreed to the following
• The government will not de-reserve the Bacalar Chico National Park,
• The government will activate the National Protected Areas Commission,
• Any future de-reservation, as well as all scientific and consultation procedures, will go through this Commission (for approval),
• And the biggest news is that the government will stop de-reservation of all other protected areas.
APAMO reports it will remain vigilant, and having successfully obtained all of its requested concessions, have called off the major protest planned for next week. Meanwhile, the GOP has made an official announcement acknowledging it has cancelled the Bacalar Chico deal.
This announcement reflects a change in the GOP’s prior stance to de-reserve, and open for sale, portions of the World Heritage Site.
After the Minister of Lands announced that the deal was cancelled, the residents of San Pedro held its planned town meeting which overflowed with concerned residents who were soon celebrating the cancellation announcement. Elito Arceo, President of San Pedro Business Association noted that after the initial internet posting of the proposed sale and de-reserving of the Bacalar Chico, the Association received emails from the UN, UNESCO and the WWF. He noted residents are still proceeding with caution as they want more than a press release and await an official document citing that the reserves will not be de-reserved |

HEALTH DISASTER FORECAST IN THE FRENCH WEST INDIES
By Caribpro Source |  | Guadeloupe and Martinique face a "health disaster" with soaring cancer and infertility rates because of the massive long term use of banned pesticides on banana plantations, a top cancer specialist warned this week. Martinique and Guadeloupe are currently facing "an extremely serious crisis linked to the massive use of pesticides for a great many years," states Professor Dominique Belpomme.
"The rate of prostate cancer is major. The French Caribbean is second in the world ranking.
| Extrapolations show that nearly one male in two will be at risk of developing prostate cancer," he said."In addition the rate of congenital malformation is increasing in the islands. And women are having fewer children than 15 years ago. The standard theory is that this is because of the pill, but I think it is linked to pesticides," he said.
Chlordecone, also known as kepone, which kills weevils, was banned in France's Caribbean territories in 1993, but it was used illegally up to 2002.
The French islands produce 260,000 tonnes of bananas a year, worth some 220 million euros (305 million dollars). The industry, which employs 15,000 people, also receives 130 million euros in EU aid.
"The situation is extremely serious. The tests we carried out on pesticides show there is a health disaster in the Caribbean. The word is not too strong. Martinique and Guadeloupe have literally been poisoned.
The poisoning affects both land and water. Chlordecone establishes itself in the clay and stays there for up to a century. As a result the food chain is contaminated, and especially water. In Martinique most water sources are polluted," he said.

ANTIGUA FILM AIRS ON WORLD TELEVISION PREMIERE
By Caribpro Source |  | HAMA Films, the Antigua & Barbuda independent film and television producers will become the first filmmakers to have two of their films, "The Sweetest Mango" and "No Seed," make their world television premiere on the Caribbean Media Corporation's cable channel CaribVision – "the eyes & ears of the Caribbean."
| CaribVision - available in 21 Caribbean territories and on DirecTV in the USA, is a 100 percent Caribbean-oriented channel, which features a unique blend of culturally rich, reflective, informative, and entertaining content.
"In terms of distribution, this is our most significant achievement', said Howard Allen, the producer and director of both films. "It offers a lot of promise for independent producers in the region. I'm proud to share our Antiguan & Barbudan experiences with audiences all over the world."
Allen's wife and Executive Producer, Mitzi Allen, said both of their films have already become cult favourites among filmgoers starved for Caribbean content. "But this type of validation –the fact that such a wide audience is going to be seeing our films – is a fulfillment of our lifelong dream."
"The Sweetest Mango," a romantic comedy, was first released in 2001. It was the first feature film for Antigua & Barbuda and the first indigenous film for the Eastern Caribbean. Since its release, the film has been screened at several film festivals across the Caribbean and the United States.
"No Seed," a political drama was released in 2002 and has also made the rounds to film festivals in the Caribbean and the United States. It received critical acclaim from the Department of Cinema and Photography at Ithaca College N.Y.
"Over the last six years we have explored various distribution options, most of which do not cater to small independent productions," said Howard Allen. "I think this venture with CaribVision is the right choice.
Although local support is critical to any production, mass distribution is the only way it can be financially viable. We're hoping the added exposure will create some new business opportunities for us."
"The Sweetest Mango," is set to premiere on CaribVision on November 7th 2007 at 9:30 p.m. The date of the world television premiere of "No Seed" has not yet been released. For More Information contact: HAMA Productions

EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK SHOWS RAPID RISE IN DEPOSITS
By Caribpro Source
 | A statement from the the St. Kitts-based Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) announces a rapid expansion in deposits in the sub-regional banking system. | "Consistent with the general buoyancy in economic conditions, total deposits grew by 11.8 percent to $15 billion over the year ended June 2007 compared with an increase of 9.0 percent over the corresponding period of 2006. Growth in the sub-regional economy during the period was driven largely by significant foreign direct investment inflows, expansions in construction and agriculture and favourable performances in wholesale and retail trade. The ECCB Business Outlook Survey also indicated generally strong business confidence during the period.
Domestic credit expanded by 20.3 percent to $9.1 billion during the twelve months ended June 2007 compared with the 16 percent growth recorded during the corresponding period of 2006. Commercial bank liquidity remained above the prudential limits despite the overall decline recorded as at the end of June 2007. This development was however consistent with the strong expansion in domestic credit over the period which commercial banks financed in part by a drawdown of their net foreign assets and borrowing from their head offices.
Favourable interest rates in the USA and large inflows from tourism related activities contributed to robust growth in the net foreign assets of the Central Bank. There was however a decline in the net foreign asset position of commercial banks reflective of the drawdown to finance the vibrant credit expansion exhibited over the period. Consistent with the increase in the central banks’ net foreign assets, the backing ratio for the domestic currency rose.
There is evidence of a downward trend in the real effective exchange rate (REER) mirroring the slide of the US dollar (to which the EC dollar is pegged) against major world currencies".

| ST. KITTS AND NEVIS CONTROL ESCALATING COST OF LIVING
Caribpro Source  | Twenty-nine items comprising basic food items such as chicken, meats, fish and rice as well as non-food goods including toothpaste, disposable diapers, and some pharmaceutical products are addressed in a Price Control Order announced by the St Kitts and Nevis government.
| At a press conference on Thursday at Government Headquarters, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Consumer Affairs Dr Timothy Harris said the price control initiative is a direct intervention by Government to protect consumers and small businesses from the spiraling costs of goods, and to achieve a level of moderation in the cost of living.
“We empathize with the public concern,” the Minister stressed. “We are aware that the inflationary trajectory of prices is partly caused by imported inflation since we import almost all that we consume.
“The Government, however, is concerned about the diminishing purchasing power of pensioners on fixed incomes, our workers on the Industrial Estate, our domestic workers and other categories of fixed income earners who continue to see their hard earn dollars stretched each week.”
The gazetted Price Control Order will set the maximum wholesale and retail markup to be applied to the listed items. Harris explained that a 20 percent markup of the landing costs for frozen items and dry goods has been prescribed for wholesalers. A retail markup of 30 percent on frozen goods, 20 percent on dry goods and 35 percent on pharmaceutical products of the wholesale price is permitted.
Although prices cannot be legally marked up higher than that listed in the Statutory Rules and Orders (SRO), distributors are encouraged to offer the goods at a lower price.
The Minister said the matter of inflation is a national concern and government was careful in considering all factors when making a decision. He cited recent discussions with bakers - who recently sought to raise the price of bread and other baked goods, due to the increase in the cost of flour overseas - in emphasizing this point.
“We had a wide acceptance of the view that the prices were moving too rapidly and too frequently and that concern I think, is one that is accepted by the Chamber itself since the membership in their individual capacities representing their own businesses have basically made that point to the Government,” he stressed.

| | "How To Buy Costa Rica Real Estate Without Losing Your Camisa" was written by Scott Oliver with the help of dozens of Costa Rica real estate experts and attorneys.
This is not a book about living in Costa Rica; it is a 140 page comprehensive English-language guide to buying Costa Rica real estate.
Contrary to what some people may have told you, there is no Multiple Listing Service! Trying to establish the 'value' of real estate is difficult.
Half the population of Costa Rica call themselves 'brokers' because anybody can freely call themselves a real estate 'broker'. They do not need any qualifications, training or experience to try and sell you real estate.
What this means is that when you search for Costa Rica real estate, which may be one of the biggest investments of your life, more than likely, you will listen to expert advice coming from someone with zero qualifications or training in real estate, who is trying very hard to earn a sales commission selling you a property that could be overpriced.
If this sounds like a recipe for disaster to you, it can be! CLICK HERE to find out more. |
| Have you ever thought about retiring in Mexico? How about retiring in one of its many lovely retirement havens? Dru Pearson, the author of this report, tells us that there are five major areas where American and Canadian retirees tend to congregate. While there may be a few expatriates scattered in a dozen villages throughout Mexico, most Americans and Canadians settle in one of five locations: San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlan, Oaxaca, Guadalajara, or Lake Chapala. Dru Pearson visited all these areas before settling in Lake Chapala. Dru gives sound and thoughtful advice on retirement in Mexico. Everything from how to pick your location to Mexican paperwork is covered. If you've ever considered retirement in Mexico please read this report first. It has the information that would otherwise take you months of frustration to acquire.
But why Mexico, you might ask? The reason so many Americans and Canadians choose Mexico is because they can drive to Mexico in a car. A bigger reason is that Mexico is a bargain compared to the USA and Canada. But there are also a large number of Europeans in Mexico. Mexico is rich with history, steeped in culture, having perhaps a more pronounced culture than any other nation in latin America with the exception of Brazil and Argentina. Mexico has great food, great architecture and many areas with an excellent climate. Mexico is also modern, with better highways than many parts of latin America and an infrastructure that allows foreigners to connect via telephone and internet to the rest of the world. This level of infrastructure isn't available in Nicaragua, nor in Guatemala, and this is a very important determining factor for the retiree who doesn't want to be inconvenienced by inconveniences.
