The government of Haiti is moving closer to fulfilling its vision of transforming Ile a Vache into one of the most beautiful tourism destinations in the Caribbean.  At the same time, it is raising the quality of life of the island's men, women, and children.  

Tourism Trinidad & Tobago recently hosted a group of travel agents from India as a part of a familiarization visit to Trinidad and Tobago in the first week of September 2014.

The Bahamian sustainable tourism development expert, Earlston McPhee, said the traditional sun, sea and sand product is no longer adequate and tourism developers must incorporate the Caribbean’s culture and history in their offerings. “For the most part, we in the region continue to ignore consumer trends."

With major shifts in wealth and economic influence worldwide come significant shifts in global tourism trends as well. For example, as the moneyed-classes in China and Russia continue to grow, the market for outbound tourism from China and Russia grows as well.
