Caribbean

The unique identity of the Caribbean people is essentially a product of intermix between the European settlers, African slaves, and native Indian tribesmen such as the peaceful Arawaks and warrior Caribs. In the post-Colombian period, the island's people have consistently fought for independence from the various European colonial powers. Today, the Caribbean Islands are known as world class holiday destinations and thriving export bases for petroleum, electronics, textiles, cigar and rum.

From silky soft white sand beaches and emerald waters to lip smacking seafood and nightlife, a typical Caribbean vacation is about surrendering oneself to the hedonistic pursuits of life! There's nothing like a breathtaking Caribbean sunset or a midnight beach BBQ! Like its culture, the food too, is certainly influenced by the people who once ruled the islands. Apart from the traditional Caribbean food, you can enjoy luscious Italian food, as well as Chinese, East Indian and other exotic cuisine. Almost Caribbean town is a sundowner's paradise. There are countless clubs and bars where you'll enjoy meringue, jazz, reggae, and even rock and roll.

Caribbean is certainly a place for people who are experts in the art of haggling. Each island has its own specialty, with shopping areas ranging from malls and independent vendors to chain stores and open-air markets. If you want to take home a piece of the Caribbean, you can pick up local artwork, jewelry made from amber and shells and rum and cigar.
