LIAT TRAVEL GUIDE & INFORMATION
DESTINATION
GUIDE
Essential information for when you fly
The diversity of the Caribbean makes it a
wonderful region to explore whatever your
tastes or interests. Across all our destinations
there really is something for everyone, but if the
choice seems almost overwhelming, fear not:
this comprehensive country guide will help you
discover the basics about each of the fantastic
locations LIAT flies to, and we’ll focus on one
particular island in more detail in every issue.
We’d like to show that although the Caribbean
may be known across the globe for its beautiful
beaches, travellers shouldn’t underestimate the
range of opportunities to learn more about
the culture and lifestyle of each destination,
or to indulge in a favourite pastime or passion.
Eating out across the region is a real experience
as well, and festivals or special events can
turn a simple night out into an evening full of
memorable entertainment. Every country has its
own special appeal, and on the following pages
you can read the key facts about each, gain
some insider tips, see what’s new and discover
the key highlights to look out for. Use these
guides and consult the map on the previous
page to help you plan your itinerary.
