CaribbeanTravel.com Directory - (Page XXIV) SUMMER SHOW YOUR CLIENTS WHY The destinations of the Caribbean have much in common with one another, yet each one is little bit — or very — different from the next. These differences and commonalities can work equally well in keeping the Caribbean top-of-mind with travel agents and their clients. Anyone who has been on, or sold, a Caribbean vacation knows that such essentials as warm, sunny weather, great beaches, fun activities, quality accommodations, and a choice of exotic and familiar cuisines are a given throughout the region. While such consistency creates a comfort level for some, others (especially the uninitiated) may conclude that “when you’ve seen one island, you’ve seen them in all” — which is certainly not the case. The challenge for the travel agent is to show the client that each Caribbean country has its own unique personality and history, so each new experience will be different from the last. Besides topographical differences, cultural influences — British, Spanish, Dutch, French, Danish, African, Mayan — vary from one place to the next, and therefore everything from local customs to food and festivals will be delightfully different as well. This edition of CaribbeanTravel.com – The Magazine contains the information you need to convince both first-timers and veteran “island hoppers” that the countries of the Caribbean, individually and collectively, have all the essential elements needed to host their dream vacation, year after year. The choice of accommodations in the region is both extensive and diverse, so you can book your clients into just the right property to suit their wants, needs, personality — and pocketbook. From deluxe beach hotels and carefree all-inclusive resorts to cozy villas and inns, guest houses and bed-and-breakfasts, you can find the perfect solution for their lodging needs wherever they wish to go in the Caribbean. In the pages that follow, more than 1,300 accommodations choices are represented, country by country, and each set of listings is preceded by an overview and essential travel information pertaining to that destination.
