This resource is essential in the efficient realization of the main economic activity in the Caribbean. We will highlight marine and the terrestrial, in that every traveler who arrives in the Caribbean, will be in close contact with the sea, recognizing that most humans, generally, know less about the sea than of the land.El DICCIONARIO TURÍSTICO CARIBE es un concepto innovador. No existe precedente de un diccionario visual y bilingüe (Eng.-Esp.) para el área, un instrumento que se enfoque a facilitar la comunicación intercultural en el turismo. Sin embargo, contar con tal instrumento es básico en la realización eficiente de la principal actividad económica del Caribe. Otro aspecto inédito de dicha obra es resaltar igualmente lo marino y lo terrestre, dado que todo viajero que llega al Caribe, va a estar necesariamente muy en contacto con el mar, que los humanos por lo general conocemos mucho menos que lo terrestre.

The travel and tourism industry is one of the world's largest industries and is a significant growth area in the developing countries of the Caribbean. The Bahamas, Costa Rica, Mexico, Barbados and Jamaica have become major players in the tourism industry. The growth rate while welcome in economic terms has also brought associated problems. Throughout the region tourism development has led to local discontent, rising land prices and environmental problems. It seems that to a large degree the traditional tourism development model pursued in many developing countries is flawed. Tourism has been treated as an end in itself, instead of a mechanism for development. This book persuasively argues that tourism development, like other forms of development, should be a process in which the interests of the local population are primary. The articles are written in English or Spanish and are accessible to a wide audience of students, policymakers, tourism and hospitality sectors.

Encyclopaedic in its coverage of all things Caribbean, this book acts as a reference work. It deals mainly with people - the politicians, activists, writers, poets, artists, sportsmen and musicians - who have helped to shape the character of the Caribbean countries and it deals with places - not only describing the land masses and towns, but also the reefs, depths, channels and currents of the Caribbean sea. Native plants and animals are also included as are the legends and heroes of West Indian folklore.
