Ecotourism in the Caribbean
The Caribbean is
best known for its beach resorts but you will also find
jungle/rainforest lodges here. For some islands, like Dominica,
sustainable tourism (ecotourism) is becoming a way to preserve
their islands. Eco lodges are the norm there. Some islands
are heavily populated, and others are much more
remote.
Many
of our
resorts offer
scuba diving
in
crystal clear
waters. Some of the islands allow gambling and have casinos. Please
click on a country or island to view resorts/hotels/lodges. |
