Sante, you might say China already has discovered it. China built a big new stadium and has given military assistance; now there's more in the works. And yes, you'll soon see more Chinese tourists there, just as you do now in the Dominican Republic. The challenge: finding Chinese-speaking hotel employees.

They don't call Barbados The Jewell Of The Caribbean for nothing.

Just wait till China discovers it!

It's not just safety and security Ed. They also want to improve infrastructure, like water storage and maybe that means roads too. But I was down there a few months ago, on the east coast and not the west coast, where everybody else goes, because I wanted to do some surfing. I had no problem with the roads or water quality. Have you?

The Barbados hotel-tourism association is campaigning to ramp up safety and security in the tourism sector. Truth is, I've never viewed Barbados as a country where I needed to worry much about that sort of thing. Comments?

Just thought I'd pass this along, from the PR company repping Barbados:

"For a last-minute fall escape, the Sea-U Guest House offers rates starting at $109 per night through 10/31 (www.seauguesthouse.com)."

Just heard about the new JetBlue route from NYC to Barbados this fall -- and they're offering a $198 r/t introductory fare good for October and the first half of November. But you have to book it soon, by June 17!
