Caribbean Islands

Sugar cane is an important production. Transformed into sugar or distilled into rum, sugar cane generates local employment and exportation incomes.

Bananas are crucial to both island’s economy : 99% of the production (fluctuating around 200 000 tons per annum) is exported, mainly towards French metropolis.

Pineapples of three different varieties are grown and consumed on the island. The fruit has become emblematic of the island, and local demand is higher than the production.

If you need rest, you won’t regret travelling to the Caribbean. The relaxed atmosphere of the island, the permanent sunshine and the outstanding resorts are an ideal environment for tired workers ! Although, resting doesn’t necessarily means lying on the beach and drinking cocktails all day : there are many things to do around here !

The sea is all around : sail it ! Enjoy breath-taking landscapes by going on a cruise on turquoise waters, or plan an out off shore fishing day ! Swim, scuba and dive, for the waters are free of dangers but full of a colourful marine fauna. Look for sea turtles, and do not miss the unique opportunity to approach dolphins and whales !

Colourful parks and gardens display tropical flowers and birds, but there is no experience like a hike through the rainforest in the company of a passionate guide !
