Antigua shooting: Caribbean tourists need not panic - Telegraph: "have just returned from a family holiday in Barbados and at no point did I feel I was in any danger, nor, more importantly, did I feel my wife and teenage daughters were unsafe. In fact, at the Friday night Bajan jump-up, the Oistin Fish Fry, which is a marvellous swirl of drinking, dancing, eating and ear-splitting soca music, my daughters went off into the crowds and, on return, remarked that they felt much safer there than they would have done at a similar gathering in London."
Global Holidays : "Once the home of huge colonial plantations, Barbados is now a destination for many sun hungry Brits wanting to get away from it all during the colder months. Far from abandoning its British-influenced past, the island state's 270,000 or so inhabitants have adopted elements of British culture into the West Indian way of life. Its national sport is cricket, while the island is still predominantly Protestant."
