Welcome to the 150th Edition of the Barbados Property News! It’s been an amazing journey and thanks to all of you, we are still here – stronger than ever!
As I start to write these comments, the sound of lovely rain! This is the Green Edition of BPN and most of the island looks brown! We have had glorious weather but now we need some rain and we are all thankful!
The ‘winter’ season has been wonderful in Barbados with the island busy and real estate buzzing. Rentals are going well and it appears to be a challenge to find rentals in the $2000 - $5000 pm range. Developers and agents report steady interest and commitment from the sales end.
British Airways have just announced the arrival of the Dreamliner to the island and increasing flights from twelve to fourteen per week. Other airlines out of the US and Canada and also reputed to be increasing their load. It all looks great for the future! And on our doorstep we have the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup in June.
In this Green Edition of BPN, we look at building in a sustainable way as well as getting an insite into what the Government is doing to delay the impacts of climate change from specialist Maxine Beaugrand. It’s more important than ever to make sure the small islands get heard! There will be an important event here from April 21st – 23rd - an historic hearing of the Court of Inter American Court of Human Rights. Read more on page 32. Remember we can also contribute in our daily lives by recycling, using less water and electricity in the home. BPN April May is on line on www.barbadospropertynews.com and on social media.
