A View on Caribbean Environmental Sustainability Solar Energy …Wind Energy …Geo Thermal …Hydro …Tidal Energy …Bio-Mass Energy – are all leading us on the road to lower prices and high renewable energy penetration. But more importantly for the world right now is the fact that the development and use of these systems will lessen the effects of global warming. And, for us in the Caribbean, where small island developing states are in a desperate need situation, these systems will bring FREEDOM. ---> read more. |
Two Nations in Harmony Considering that not much is in harmony if the world of today it is a pleasure to visit a tiny island that is shared in such harmony by two nations – in this case Sint Maarten, which is the Dutch side and Saint Martin, the French side. This shared harmony has led to an economic strength for each nations as both countries are major tourism magnets and rightfully so – few islands have so much to offer under the ‘roof’ of 37 square miles. ---> read more. |
Active Sint Maarten, Dynamic Saint-Martin Dutch Sint Maarten borders the French overseas collective or territory of Saint-Martin, which occupies the northern half of the island. The capital of French Saint Martin is Marigot and the capital of Sint Maarten is Philipsburg.. St. Maarten is rapidly becoming the Eastern Caribbean's next St. Thomas -- its duty-free shopping rivals, if not exceeds, that of that U.S. Virgin Island -- and, increasingly, cruise lines are calling with their biggest, post-Panamax ships (on a recent spring trip we estimated there were six ships carrying about 18,000 passengers). ---> read more. |
Caribpro .com - Moving Money March 2009 The lesson, as always, is that you should speak with a currency expert when considering an international property purchase. A British client looking to buy something in the Caribbean (priced in USD) during this time period would’ve first seen a dramatic increase in the total GBP cost to them simply because of an exchange rate move out of their favor. Then, that same client would’ve seen a swing back in their favor, which could have saved them $1,000’s if not $10,000’s on their property. ---> read more. |
Caribpro .com - Investors And Funding March 2009 The basic principle behind forms of investments available to private individuals and corporate clients is centered upon three common elements rarely brought together by an investor as ‘one’ entity. This important investment trio is...Velocity, Leverage & Compound. Typically for most investors how soon can I achieve my return? (Velocity.) What return can I expect for my funds en route? (Leverage.) And, what benefits are available if leave my funds to grow? (Compound). ---> read more. |
Caribpro .com - Passports To Offshore Security March 2009 Of all of the offshore nations one could settle on in the world, by far the most intriguing, beautiful and inviting is the Commonwealth of Dominica, located in the eastern Caribbean. Dominica is known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean and it really lives up to that title. This is the island where the Pirates of the Caribbean Parts 2 and 3 were filmed. ---> read more. |

Caribpro .com - Clews Views March 2009 Chichicastenango (simply known as “Chichi”), Guatemala, is a small (population 15,000) village in the verdant western highlands that Lonely Planet simply calls “magical.” Chichi is perfect for two types of Pioneers, in particular, Chichi might be ideal. The first are independent adventurers of any age who can work via the Internet. The second are self-contained Baby Boomer couples who have arrived at a point in life where their best friends are each other. Either group will find that they can live very well on $1,000, or so a month. ---> read more. |

How To Find Your Paradise – Comparison Shop! Part Two Paradise and being flexible go hand in hand….you learn new mantras to live by in order to not go completely bonkers, and are always informed that every new plan, created on the fly as a means to salvage yet another mini-disaster, is “no problem.” One great piece of advice for anyone moving to and living in Paradise is to always have several back up plans in mind for even the most seemingly easy operation. And, never confuse the meaning of mañana either, as we soon learned it does not mean tomorrow—it really means “not today.” ---> read more. |
History of Caribbean Art : Spotlight Haiti, Part 1 Caribbean artists are breaking onto the world art scene, bringing with them a unique vision of the world based on the bright colors and beautiful cultures of the islands. There are a few islands, such as Haiti, Cuba and Jamaica, where art is a major part of the cultural fiber. Without a doubt, Haitian Art, especially painting and sculpture, is among the most appreciated in the world. It continues to receive critical acclaim while at the same time enjoying some measure of commercial success and yet it is basically the product of a fully untrained group of very unique and visionary artists. ---> read more. |
Letter From The Editor March 2009 Despite digitising most of our business and personal correspondence there are still times when a letter or parcel is sent to us through the ancient practiced art of the postal service. On Dominica it certainly is less a service and more an art form, a dark and strange canvas full of inconstancies and dead ends. Opening a Christmas 2008 present from our daughter and her family in the dusty, dour atmosphere of the post office on February 24th 2009 in Roseau, didn't quite have the usual frisson of joy and anticipation that goes with such ceremonies. I was watched by a portly, dour and dusty civil servant whose seminal pleasures in life were obviously not derived from his work as post office customs agent. ---> read more. |

Magical Montserrat : Emerald Isle of the Caribbean Mighty Montserrat, Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, has stood tall against hurricanes, volcanoes and other catastrophes, yet still manages to keep her head above water, so to speak. The destination flourishes despite the eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano and boasts lush green mountains, world-class nature trails, deserted dark sand beaches and untouched reefs where marine enthusiasts can view everything from colorful coral reef fish to spiny lobsters and copper sweepers. Divers explore the Bat Cave, there is plenty of hiking, biking, birding, and of course, volcano viewing. ---> read more. |
The New Luxury Capital Of The Caribbean : The Dominican Republic In the last 15 years the Dominican Republic became the Caribbean island with the most hotel rooms, mostly under the ¨all inclusive¨ plan, where it ranks 1st in the world. In the last 5 years, this all started to change, with developments that are among the best in the world building ultimate developments. And, it is more than the country’s ever improving infrastructure, the lowest land costs in the area, superb beaches and the great warmth of the locals that is transforming the country into a luxury development heaven. Luxury requires an experience, top entertainment, golf, yachting, great dining…and the DR has all of this and more! ---> read more. |
Inspirations From Mexico : A World of Authentic Cuisine The fact is most Canadians and Americans can learn a lot from our neighbors to the south about preparing healthy food. Rice and beans, which accompany nearly every Mexican meal, is a perfect protein combination and are also high in fiber. Hot spicy foods help the body burn calories faster. And, almost all of it is quite economical to make�a real boon in these crunch times. If you have never tried Lime Soup, Paella or Yucatecan Chicken you are in for a real treat. ---> read more. |
Caribpro.com - Mortgage Matters March 2009 Welcome to my new monthly column! My goal each month is to introduce readers to the mysterious world of offshore mortgaging – or to be exact, the offshore mortgage industry. In this case, we will be zeroing in on the Caribbean Basin and Mexico. Most of you have probably already been to either the Caribbean, Mexico or Latin America and decided it would be great to buy a piece of heaven. The big question is - What do you do next and how do I get the perfect place to use as an investment – perhaps one that will become the spot where you’ll spend your golden years. ---> read more. |
