Barbadian Tourism
The Caribbean island of Barbados lies in blue-green waters and is surrounded by a coral shoreline. Check here for the
Barbados Tourist Board to find out more. Take time out to visit Bridgetown, the capital city of Barbados.
With its many church spires, you would be forgiven for thinking you were in an English village. The island is also as a retreat for the wealthy. They arrived to be revived, or even cured, from everyday ills. The clean air, warmth and relaxing scenery make it an ideal haven to escape to. All inclusive holidays help this.
