Stop at a local street side shop, bar or market – those experiences will be worth their weight in both Caribbean dollars and memories
Sandals Resorts International encourages guests to help schoolchildren boost their English skills, while its Volunteen-ism programme in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos invites teenagers to join beach cleans or share computer skills. Booking a night or two in a family guesthouse or homestay provides muchneeded funds for communities while offering a glimpse into local Caribbean life.

Yet some of the simplest ways to engage and spend locally are the most rewarding – such as the Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry in Barbados (see panel on opposite page) and the Caribbean chicken lunch at Kalinago Barana Aute Cultural Village in Dominica. Wherever your travels take you, be sure to stop at a local street side shop, bar or market – those experiences will be worth their weight in both Caribbean dollars and memories. •
