St Vincent is a stunningly beautiful Caribbean country that has remained largely unspoilt from the ravages of tourism. Up until recently, there has not been a major international airport on the island and country has been able to remain an exclusive and relatively undiscovered jewel of the Caribbean.
A new International airport, which is scheduled for completion in 2011, and the English Cricket team playing their warm up games on the island during the 2007 Caribbean World Cup, have fuelled an interest in St Vincent and as such the government have spearheaded this ambitious and remarkable project.
The Western coast of St Vincent is no stranger to having its beauty portrayed on film, the Disney film 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was shot in the next bay along from Buccament Bay and the two sequels are currently being shot on the island. Both films are due for release later this year. St Vincent will undoubtedly benefit from a greater public awareness with these major releases.
Due to St Vincent being a volcanic island, it currently has darker volcanic sands but the finest white sand is being imported from Guyana to replace the existing beach.
Rental occupancies for neighbouring St Lucia and Barbados currently run at over 80% and with property prices a fraction of those of it's West Coast neighbours, the rental returns are likely to be incredibly substantial in the next few years.
