Barbados is truly a unique tropical tourism destination. A 166 square mile gem of white sand beaches, a complex mix of high class accommodation, made up of intimate guest-houses, small, medium and large hotels, luxury apartments, villas, and condominiums. An array of quality restaurants providing a culinary experience that is not easily found in anywhere and the picture of the ideal tourist island begins to take shape. Place these obvious tourism attributes along side an activities calendar that is second to none and what tourism planners on this most easterly of the chain of Caribbean islands may just have created, is the most complete tourism and hospitality oriented destination in the region. However, Barbados' brand of hospitality goes way beyond the traditional tourism and hospitality mix for which this tropical region has become renowned. Barbados is a country that boasts infrastructural development attributes that places the island way ahead of its neighbours. An expansive road network of major highways and well paved minor roads that uniquely link every area of the island, modern accessible buildings, a telecommunications network that is as effective and reliable as any in any developed country and an educated populace that supplies to the industry a set of the most competently trained hospitality personnel in the industry, makes for the ideal tropical island tourism and hospitality experience.
