The benefits of travelling to the Caribbean are plain to see. Its inviting weather and warm tropical sea has lured visitors from all over the world since the late 18th century. Tourism is an important economic activity in most of the Caribbean countries. It is, in fact, the main source of income in the US Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and Antigua and Barbuda. As far as Caribbean hotels go, travellers find five-star luxury hotels, but also less exclusive, more affordable options. All-inclusive resorts are tremendously popular among Caribbean hotels, but some prefer locally-owned establishments.
