Default Caribbean travel websites?

Is there any type of website that you can plug in what it is you want to do on your vacation and they would direct you in the right direction. For example if I said I want to go to a Caribbean Island In September and I want a nice quiet beach, beautiful scuba diving, and sportfishing for billfish. And an all inclusing hotel. Is there any kind of website that would say where the best places to go would be for that?

That sounds like a excellent idea but unfortunately I don't know of any website that does that.

I do suggest you go to your local travel agency and I bet they can help you find the right vacation for you.

Good Luck)

NEW YORK, USA: The Caribbean's positioning as a valuable and viable brand took a major step forward this month with the launch of the Caribbean Tourism Development Company's (CTDC) new consumer travel site www.caribbeantravel.com.

CTDC, the marketing and business development unit owned equally by the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA) and the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), presented the new site to members of the travel press, describing it as a colourful and content-rich site designed to be the central portal to all things related to Caribbean travel.

Extending her congratulations to CTDC, Caroline Racine, Director of Caribbean Franchise Development for Choice Hotels International, said the new website represented "another landmark initiative in Caribbean collaboration" as she commended the partners from both the public and private sector.

"The Caribbean has only scratched the surface to increase its share of international travel and tourism revenues, and this branding strategy should help reap rewards not just for the businesses that operate in the region, but for the people and communities who call the Caribbean home," she said.

The CTDC will soon introduce an interactive consumer web video contest with the theme "Why My Life Needs the Caribbean,"offering Caribbean vacations as prizes for winners.

"Our goal with CaribbeanTravel.com is to create a one-stop shop for travelers and travel agents with all necessary information, images and vacation offers at their fingertips," said Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace, co-CEO of the CTDC and Secretary General of the CTO. "Our goal since day one of the creation of the CTDC has been to create buzz and business for the Caribbean," said CHA Director-General Alec Sanguinetti, who doubles as co-CEO of the CTDC.

Choice Hotels International, the strategic hotel partner of the Caribbean Hotel Association, seeks to help increase the profitability of Caribbean small hotels with state-of-the-art revenue management systems, a powerful reservations system, a US$175 million marketing campaign, and dedicated Brand Performance Consultants.[-End]

Hi,

Fortunately, there are no websites that currently offer those types of services and here's why... If you want to book your travel on your own but through web searches, you can expect to do a lot of work and probably won't get a lot of answers.

If on the other hand you want expert advice, such as what you've asked in your question, you would seek the help of a trained professional. Travel agents spend years going to school to become trained professional. They update their education yearly through destination courses and fam trips to these destinations and they have done their homework. They make it their business to know where to send a client dependent on what the clients needs are. That's why they are the expert.

I hope you find the information you are looking for, but I promise you it will take you hours of research when you could call any travel agent for the same amount of money as you can buy on-line and get expert advice!
