Barbados is the most easterly of the Caribbean Islands, and is a tiny dot on most world maps. With an area of 166 square miles, Barbados has a population of about 260,000 - quite high considering its size. With an awe-inspiring coastline, perfect temperatures, and the friendliest people in the world, Barbados has much to offer!

Commonly referred to as "The Gem of the Caribbean Sea", Barbados and Sunlinc are the perfect combination for your Corporate Incentive Group.

Without question, Barbados is a country of contrasts - sleek and modern in many ways, yet clearly still attached to the customs, traditions and religion of England - accommodating to the pace and energy of a commercial life, yet embracing a rhythm that feels slower and less aggressive-fearful of God in the Anglican tradition, without the oppressiveness.

Barbados has been a self-governing country since 1639, yet not becoming formally independent from Britain until November 30th, 1966. It is a member of the British Commonwealth. British heritage is evident in Barbadian (Bajan) customs, as seen in the names of streets and areas throughout the Island.

English is the official language; however Barbadians speak their own language, complete with its own idioms, vernacular and words. Bajan (pronounced Bay - Jan, as in Janette) can best be described as English spoken at 100 MPH! People from Barbados are called either Barbadians or Bajans. Do not earn their immediate disrespect by referring to them as "natives."

In short, Barbados is a country as complex or diverse as any you will find anywhere. In the attempt to know and understand it, the newcomer to Barbados has an ally - its size. It measures a brief 21 miles from top to bottom, and only 14 miles wide. In Barbados, life is not hidden! It is a tropical isle, after all, with an openness born of the physical reality of heat and sunshine.
