The Caribbean

The Caribbean’s nearly 7,000 islands are popular tourist destinations for their tropical weather, gorgeous beaches, delicious cuisine, and places to stay, from luxurious resorts to quaint bed and breakfasts. Influences from African to French, Dutch, British, and Spanish remain from the past, making each island country unique in language, food, architecture, culture, and style. Visitors from around the world come to the islands for colorful festivals, diving among coral reefs, boating, shopping, nightlife, and enjoying the warm weather and beautiful scenery.
