Blue Water Global Finds Great Opportunity in the Caribbean
ACCESSWIRE - Wed Nov 19, 10:10AM CST
WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2014 / You can look the world over and never find a tourist destination as perfectly designed and rich in potential as the Caribbean, where hundreds of tropical islands create a seemingly endless palette of sights, sounds, and activities drawing in millions of vacationers every year from the U.S. and around the world, many of them returning again and again. The Caribbean is the cruise industry's mother lode, where huge people-packed ships can glide from port to tropical port, representing billions of dollars in revenue to cruise-focused companies like Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL). To hungry island economies, the continuous supply of tourist dollars underpins almost everything, and promises to grow as the Caribbean becomes one of the world's top vacation destinations. St. Maarten in the Dutch West Indies, for example, is visited by over 1 1/2 million people annually, and it's just one of many developing ports.
