Tourism Treats February 2009 February in the Caribbean features one of the greatest shows on earth – the Trinidad & Tobago Carnival. Despite widespread economic uncertainty, a majority of hospitality industry investors expect 2009 to be a year of economic recovery. Many travel agents are ill-prepared for the impending recession and are facing possible failure, says the latest research. It’s time to take advantage of the incredible deals that all the Caribbean hotels are offering now through March. In air travel news, a record number of private jets have been flying in to Anguilla…LIAT Airlines introduces a new website and British Airways will now fly in to St Kitts and Nevis. ---> read more. |
Did You Know February 2009 Did you know that music, whether the traditional folk sounds of jing ping or the wild beat of bouyon, can be heard throughout every corner of Dominica, the Nature Island, that is also listed as the 4th happiest country in the world? And, from hearty breads to tasty puddings, this month’s Caribbean recipes are scrumptious and filling. Our favorite Caribbean language, Creole, continues on with yet another lesson. ---> read more. |
Costa Rica : Ripe for Foreign Investment Unlike many countries in the south, Costa Rica offers universal, free and compulsory education up to the 9th grade level and puts a strong emphasis on computer and English speaking skills. The Costa Rican workforce is considered perhaps the most important attraction for foreign investors, as the population is highly literate and well educated. And, Costa Rica now has one of the highest Human Development Indexes among developing nations and one of the highest literacy rates of the Americas. ---> read more. |
Cruising with a Backstage Pass Theme cruises are abundant these days. There are cruises for just about any hobby or interest. No doubt the most popular and in demand theme cruise centers on music – from Elvis to Mozart, there is a cruise for everyone.

Hidden Gem : The Riviera Maya The area in Mexico called Riviera Maya stretches from just south of Cancun to just south of the town of Tulum. Small towns, fishing villages, and beachside communities make up this lovely part of Quintana Roo, Mexico facing the Caribbean Ocean. Within this small area are all types of natural attractions, ancient ruins, local color and beautiful sites. This is where you discover Tulum and Cozumel. In my heart, I hold this part of Mexico to be a truly magical place. ---> read more. |
Haiti Update On A Tough 2008 In the aftermath of four powerful storms- Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike - Haitian inhabitants struggled to survive the devastation. Crops and animals were lost…washed away by the torrential downpours. Rooftops were blown away and fruit trees ready for harvest were destroyed. With no housing, food or drinking water, it was utter devastation. But even in the face of devastation, there is HOPE for the resilient people of Haiti as several agencies help with the rebuilding process. ---> read more. |
The Dazzling Bahamas : A 700-island Chain The independent, sovereign, and English-speaking Bahamas is one of the most geographically complicated nations. A coral-based archipelago, it is composed of more than 700 islands and 2,000 cays floating in a total area of 100,000 square miles in the Atlantic Ocean between Florida and Hispaniola. Classified as an upper middle-income developing country, The Bahamas has the third highest per capita income in the western hemisphere. ---> read more. |
The Out Islands : Floating Links in The Chain An Out Islands vacation is the real Bahamas experience, full of natural wonders, wildlife, seemingly endless beaches, and a variety of uniquely Bahamian resorts and boutique hotels. The Bahamas Out Islands aren't a vacation destination for everyone. The Out Islands are in The Bahamas, but there are no cruise ships here, no high-rise hotels, and no crowds. Some of the islands are so small they disappear when the tide comes in ---> read more. |

Investors And Funding February 2009 Banks and corporations continue to fall, demolished by their own mismanagment. Each one contributing to a new financial market landscape with no Permits or Planning Permission for replacements, but through which currencies, as they have for centuries, continue to flow like canals between the last standing structures ---> read more. |
Passports To Offshore Security February 2009 Offshore companies provide a very effective and legal means of mitigating taxation and increasing company profits.

Clews Views – Feb 09 Welcome to Clews’ Views. If all goes according to Hoyle, each month throughout the coming year, this column will give you my best take on your best buys throughout Latin America. I’ll tell you where I think good properties are undervalued, bad deals are overrated, short-term investments could offer high-yield returns, and – again, in my opinion – where you personally could find the good life at a great price as soon as you’re ready to seek your place in the sun. ---> read more. |

Letter From The Editor February 2009 It may be that the export market for bay leaves from Grenada to Europe dries up, but probably not from Grenada to St. Thomas. Perhaps the flow of St. Vincent arrowroot to the UK will slow.. but now there is a chance it will find its way to Antigua and Anguilla instead. For so long we have watched all the best of everything flow out from the islands to the big chains in Europe. In Dominica its very hard to find a ripe banana in the land of bananas. Perhaps in a world of protectionism we will turn back to our close neighbours and stop worrying about the ones on the side of the world, and for the small island nations that's not a bad thing. ---> read more. |
