Page 39 - CARIBE TOURIST GUIDE

In the Caribbean, this kind of tourism involves an experience in a family atmosphere. A common thread is the personalized attention that allows you to deepen your knowledge of the Afrodescendant culture, the cultures of those with Chinese and European roots, and the native peoples, their agricultural traditions (staple crops, roots and tubers, banana and plantain, palm heart, coffee, cocoa, coconut, ornamental plants, as well as livestock, fishing, forestry and more). As well as fishing and small artisanal industries, small businesses promote sustainable practices through their tourism activities. There are also rural organizations making small-scale handicrafts, cosmetics, cheese, ice cream, chocolate, and more.
