A visit to the Caribbean today offers far more than the world's best beaches. As
the islands have grown into international travel destinations, their individual features and strengths have emerged.
Many traditional cultures have been preserved, and the astonishing ecological treasures of the islands are now among their
most celebrated features. The region's rich history is also gaining a more appreciative audience among vacationers.
Today, the Caribbean offers a more diverse and vibrant travel experience than ever before.
The Caribbean Sea is the world's fifth largest body of water. With
a total area of 970,000 square miles, it is slightly bigger than the Mediterranean. The region's islands are incredibly
varied, ranging from lush and tropical to arid semi-desert. The climate is ideal, with year-round temperatures averaging
around 80 degrees F.
