PARCEL DELIVERY AND COURIER SERVICES TO BARBADOS

Stunning turquoise waters, lush vegetation, luxury accommodation and a rich history, Barbados is wonderful to visit. While it is one of the most iconic and truly mesmerising islands in the Caribbean, it is also one of the most British. The beautiful island, offers both the familiar and exotic with its vibrant and alluring culture and British traditions such as afternoon tea and cricket as well as UK style judicial and school systems. It is the most developed country in the Caribbean and has one of the highest incomes in the region. Barbados and the UK have held long ties since the English claimed the land in 1627. Barbados then became independent state in 1966, but kept Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. For years, the economy remained heavily dependent on sugar, rum and molasses production. However, today’s economy is comprised mainly of tourism and manufacturing. In 2014, there were 186,858 UK visitors and they accounted for 37% of the country’s tourism. Additionally, nearly 4,015 British have made the island home. With such strong British ties and so many choosing the island for travel and business, there have been long and well-developed courier services to Barbados.
