What's Happening: Longstanding Visitors Reception

We were honoured to be invited to the Prime Minister's home Illaro Court, where there was a reception to celebrate and thank the visitors who have been Visiting Barbados for years! As we entered the reception area, the children of Bay Primary were all lined up and greeted us singing Bajan folk songs! A lovely welcome indeed! We took some time to explore the beautiful surroundings and got a chance to chat with some visitors who have been coming to the island for years upon years! It was such a treat getting to meet these wonderful people who undoubtedly see Barbados as their second home. See what they had to say about our amazing little rock below:

Mike and Lee Bertrand from Toronto have been coming to Barbados from 1989, Lee has actually visited from the time she was four years old! They love to just relax and do nothing when they come to the island!

Kay Casterline and Ula Dodson have been visiting Barbados for 15 and 28 years respectively! Coming from Connecticut and New Jersey they like to catch up and see old friends here on the island and of course have that much deserved rest and relaxation!

Ethel Harvey is from Brooklyn, NYC and has been coming to Barbados for 55 years! She has Bajan family and enjoys our delicious food and a good sea bath.

Anthony Howe and Felicity Austin Smith have been coming to Barbados for 5-6 years from Windsor, England. They love the great entertainment here on the island, along with swimming with the turtles, visiting the magical gardens such as Hunte's Gardens and enjoying Jazz at Lobster Alive!

Graeme and Heidi Mosedale are from the UK and have been visiting Barbados since 2006. When on island they enjoy our restaurants, beaches and of course the underwater adventures with the beautiful sea turtles.

Barbara Ramsay has been visiting us since 2004 and she is from the Bronx, NYC. She absolutely loves our friendly people and a refreshing dip in the ocean!

Brigitte Steinmetz has been traveling to Barbados all the way from Germany for 37 years. She was lovely to talk to, giving us some stories of Bajan success and expressing her love of our beaches!

Thanks to all the visitors who come to Barbados and support us all year around!
