I am a born Barbadian/Bajan and love my country but didn't see the need for the post which pulled down St. Lucia and Castries. I have visited St. Lucia and I think it's a very beautiful place. All the West Indian islands have either natural or built environments which they can be reasonably proud of.

Also, Barbados isn't without it's problems, but Barbados again unlike most other developing countries have explored the aspect of sustainable development, so they try to provide themselves with the most basic and necessary of commodities, hence they spend less money on importing those items. Countries spend more money on basic commodities than elaborate things, believe it or not. Then the Bajan people have a national pride almost unseen in other countries, kudos to Barbados

@emperor536 The fact is Barbados,as any island only has so much space, so as selfish as it may sound, I feel that only Barbadian citizens should be allowed to move to Barbados permanently. And property should only be sold to Barbadians. Non Bajans should be allowed extended visas for up to a decade or so, and property leases of a similar length of time. There should be thorough background checks of any non-Bajan looking to emigrate, and strict restriction regarding criminal histories.

@beautifulgooal yeah i know what you mean, but i think the issue is that Barbados has invested in and developed the aspect of their national Human Development Index, which complements industrial development-a smart move, that is the key to development. Hence Barbados gives affordable and free quality university education. Barbados is one of the most politically stable countries in the world. The other countries do the opposite, they try to develop their industries instead of their people.

@emperor536 There are only two ways to grow, upwards, and outwards. If they grow too high, all the beautiful vistas will be ruined, if they grow outwards, all natural features and agricultural land will be consumed and no one will want to come to the island. So perhaps they need to restrict immigration to ease up on development pressures. A reduction in development would put a strain on the construction industry, but existing structures and road networks can always use improvements and upgrades

@emperor536 Barbados does have its fair share of problems, violence not so much, but sustainable development is a problem there. There are two natural wetlands in Barbados, and both of them are slated for development, that has been an ongoing battle. If it is absolutely necessary to build new buildings, there are plenty of derelict sites in already developed areas. Barbados does not have the luxury of space and so it is paramount that they review their immigration policies.

That redevelopment of Bridgetown lookin good... They got the new swing bridge put in and waterfront has all the grassland and trees and thing now. The replacement of that carpark at Independence Square made a big difference. If you're in Barbados still can you do a video of the stretch from the Fairchild Street bus terminal down to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Did they do-up waterfron in that area yet?

@emperor536 There was some land reclamation that took place in barbados, there used to be a small island called pelican island off the coast of bridgetown, but they filled in the gap between the two islands. As a long term solution, land reclamation would not be sustainable. I think the costs would outweight the benefits, because of the resources and labour that would need to be expended to reclaim a given square footage of land, and that fill would have to come from somewhere.

@emperor536 regarding immigration. Barbados is one of the most developed if not the most developed and stable country in the region, so there are a lot of immigrants from other areas of the region, looking for work and a better life, some immigrants are from developed countries like Canada, the States and England. These tend to be well to do people who either fall in love with Barbados, and want to move there, or are looking for a permanent tropical getaway.

@DigitalIslandboy Hey I was just down there a couple weeks ago. They haven't done a thing about that stretch really. There may be a few landscaping things here and there, nothing really pleasing to the eye, and those appartments, north of the big stinking river beyond the ZR van terminal, are somewhat of an eyesore. Total contrast to the rest of downtown. The fairchild terminal itself could do with a little refreshing.

Agenthelios, before you plan on taking your dog, look into any restrictions that might exist. You may not be able to take your dog on a short trip, because there might be quarantine requirements. Ask your travel agent, or contact the Barbados government. As for groceries, there are several excellent grocery stores throughout the island ranging in size from supermarkets to mini-marts. While there may be areas with large concentrations of hotels, Barbados is not segregated into tourist..

Haha thank you, sorry it took so long for me to respond, but it was a Samsung NV24HD - one of the first affordable point and shoot cameras to sport 720p HD recording. Now that you mention it, it did have a pretty good sensor for its time! Even though the resolution wouldn't hold up today, the overall video quality is still pretty good 12 years later. I guess it just goes to show - resolution isn't everything! One thing it would not be as good at as today's phone cameras (besides sound quality) is night shots. It was pretty useless at night.
@TdotSoul14 жыл бұрын
@emperor536 either it would have to be imported which would be expensive, or it would have to come from other (potentially undeveloped, and naturally sensitive) parts of the island, which would have the same effect of expanding development into natually sensitive areas. Also the stability of reclaimed land in oceans which are subject to heavy tides and currents is questionable. There would also be damaging effects to ecosystems in and around the reclaimed areas in the short term, and long term.

@zhivargoes Being developed has little to do with your GDP however it deals more with Human Development Index, ie level of education, availability and quality of certain services such as health etc, Quality of life and standard of living, Per capita income, infrastructure and more importantly CRIME LEVEL, and the only caribbean country to come close to Barbados on those grounds is the Bahamas.China has the worlds 2nd largest economy but its underdeveloped, hence the term sustainable developement

@emperor536 perhaps those in the construction industry can be given subsidized training in other skills and trades for leaner times. Another problem in barbados is waste management. On an island like Barbados they NEED to be recycling EVERYTHING! But Barbados recycles nothing at this point! They export their waste which is costly, and they dump it on their scarce real estate. A recycling industry would create many new jobs, and could either reduce import needs or increase export opportunities.

@emperor536 Yeah but there's one difference between Barbados and those other places you quoted that also have high percapita. They are all still colonies of a larger countries: Guadeloupe is a part of France, Aruba + Curaçao are part of the Netherlands, and Bermuda with the United Kingdom. If Barbados was still a part of the U.K. (with the same level of autonomy as Bermuda) it would probably be more developed because Barbados wouldn't have to pay completely for its own national defence.

Yes there are many other majority black countries that are doing well with high per capita incomes such as Guadeloupe at US21.000, Aruba-US23.000, Bermuda-US91.000, Curaçao-US21.000 but most of them are overseas territories so they dont count...

nice vid, I want to go to barbados just to check it because I have heard good things. I didnt know Barbados had an immigration problem until about a few weeks ago. It is understandable though since Barbados does have the highest standard of living in the region after The Bahamas and Trinidad. At least Barbados doesnt have it as bad as the Bahamas though, they have lots of money and the US mainland is only 40 miles away, so you can imagine illegal immigrants are a big problem in the Bahamas.

@DigitalIslandboy I'm glad Barbados hasn't gone the way of overdevelopment yet, so far they have been relatively responsible with their growth, but that might be changing soon. There is some pressure to pave over the only two wetlands on the island, and that's no good. I would hate for Barbados to go the way of skyscrapers and american franchises (which are moving in, so far they have KFC, Subway, and T.G.I. Fridays)
