HOLIDAYS OF THE REGION
Lots of our visitors come to the region for their Caribbean Holidays and are amazed at the amount of holidays we seem to have. In fact there are a lot of holidays for a variety of reasons ranging from Independence, Emancipation and achieving Republic status to a host of religious observations to a plethora of cultural celebrations.
We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide® have gathered the 2011 public holidays and will continue to update this annually so that you can simply refer to the table of your relevant island. Please note that for most islands dependent on tourism, visitors are hardly affected as holidays mark a surge in business for many establishments, still it does not hurt to know your environment.
