Usually these are a bit cheesy, but this one……… well, have a quick read, clear here.
This form of property ownership is very dear to my heart, note, not to be mistaken with timeshare!
I believe in fractional ownership within the holiday home market and have attended seminars in the USA. The concept was born in ski resorts, but can now be found in popular cities such as New York or London, country side estates and sunshine destinations such as Barbados.
See this link for an interesting article released today.
Feel free to ask questions about this form of property ownership that can also be bought using a traditional mortgage.
Even taking into account the staggering growth of the cruise industry over the past decade, 2010 will stand out as a milestone year. For a start, 16 new ships will be joining the global cruise fleet. In November Royal Caribbean Internationalwill be unveiling the world’s largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas. Not only will it hold 5,400 passengers, but this ground-breaking vessel will offer features never before seen at sea, such as a zip wire across the decks and a full-sized carousel.

Following on from my blogs on the Harlequin Group who have planned developments in 5 Caribbean countries including Barbados, here is a link to an interesting article tying them to Liverpool footbal club.
Anyone interested in a development by this group, please be sure to do your due diligence as my previous blogs and research have developed some negative feedback.
An amusing article using Allen Stanford as an expample posted on www.bajan.wordpress.com titled, “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.”
Positive news for the property rental and sales market in the Caribbean with increased flights to many destinations:
From 25th October British Airways are increasing the numbers flights to Barbados to double figures per week, to St Lucia 5 times per week, and a new service to Dominican Republic Republic twice a week.
Very interesting for those who have enjoyed the Grenadines in the past, will most likely want to enjoy them again, and those thinking of making their way to this most amazing part of the Caribbean!
In this article by Caribbean Net News, it is reported that a study is underway that will provide the information required to develop a first of its kind, underwater map, of the Grenadines including the National Park of the Tobago Keys.
Ahoy there sailor!
In this article posted on www.caribbeannetnews.com it is reported that the BTA are making efforts to drive up tourism from the West Coast of the States, such as California and Colorado.
With a healthy supply of air links from the East Coast, one may think this a logical source of tourism, unfortunatley I am not so confident.
The travel time it takes added to the time changes going from one coast to the other, makes the journey a real nightmare.
I have experienced flying to California, Nevada, and Colorado from Barbados. The outward bound is not so bad, but coming home is tough, unless you are happy to take a night stop!
Now, if we could get a direct air link from the West Coast or a main West Coast hub to Barbados, I think it would open a whole new world of opportunities within the American tourist market and also for Barbadians and others in the region traveling to the West Coast.
If you have any comments on this or know of an air link that could help, please feel free to comment.
