Home from home. That’s the expression many delegates at this year’s ITT conference used to describe Barbados. Steeped in colonial heritage we share some surprising characteristics with Britain.

Hastings, Worthing, Brighton and Dover beaches can all be found on our soil. Bright red post boxes and telephone booths dot the streets, smiling children dress for school in hats and uniforms and proud mothers wear traditional Sunday dress for church each Sunday. We even have our own Nelson’s column and Trafalgar Square.

We have our own Kensington Oval cricket stadium as well, forever remembered and loved by generations around the world for outstanding matches and the bustling, vocal atmosphere. The stadium is currently being redeveloped to host the prestigious finals of the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, something every Bajan will tell you proudly.

But wait. Just a few days into your adventure and you will discover the differences unfolding. Your senses will awaken as you relax and unwind to the sound, smell and magical spirit of Barbados.

Year after year, more than 40 per cent of visitors to Barbados return again, because as we say on our island, “It simply doesn’t get better than Barbados”. There truly is something for everyone.

And now we are making it even easier to make bookings to Barbados – with our ‘Best of Barbados’ campaign offering travel agents up to £100 off booking customer holidays to Barbados. And we recognise your loyalty with us with the launch of the first-ever Barbados Loyalty Card for travel agents, giving you massive discounts of up to 50% to major attractions, accommodation and gifts so you can discover Barbados for yourself.

So ‘lime’ for a while. Rest your feet. Read. And discover the magic of Barbados.
