In recent years, the tourist boards of the Caribbean have amped up their websites with new high design features where one can virtually travel at the click of a mouse. All the same important & helpful facts are still found, but the experience of researching what your destination has to offer, is all the more pleasurable.

Why should you visit a Tourist Board's website?
- Specials & Deals - see if the island is offering any island-wide promotion that you can ask your travel agent (hopefully, ME) about. Or search for coupons for local activities such as Stingray City in Grand Cayman. You can then combine one of these deals with cheap flights to the Caribbean.
- Photos - get a bigger picture of the island you will be visiting. tourist Board photos show more of the island that most hotel websites.
- Facts - do you need an electrical converter when visiting Antigua? Should you change currency in St. Lucia? What is the average rainfall in Puerto Rico? What are the legal marriage requirements for a Caribbean Destination Wedding?
- Festivals & Events - see if your travel dates coincide with Carnival or a Caribbean Music Fest, or perhaps a traditional holiday event unique to the island.
