Dear Potential Member,<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Countrystyle- Villages as Businesses programme was developed to create economic opportunities for community persons interested in investing in their communities by offering community tourism products and attractions <\/strong>that build on unique natural, cultural and human capital.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

It aims to market authentic lifestyles, people and experiences. It views the tourism product of the Caribbean as relating not only to specific \u2018resort and hotel areas\u2019, or traditional tourism establishments and sites, but also to the entire country.\u00a0 All participating Villages\/Communities are encouraged to stimulate entrepreneurship and identify unique opportunities, such as natural, man-made or traditional cultural practices, within their local environment.<\/p>\n

The Countrystyle- Villages as Businesses programme is endorsed by the Founder & President of the International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT) Louis D\u2019Amore, the IIPT International Community Tourism Network and the IIPT Caribbean which supports the IIPT\u2019s (www.peacetourism.org) mission of fostering and facilitating tourism initiatives which contribute to international understanding and cooperation, improve the quality of the environment, the preservation of heritage, and through these initiatives help to bring about a peaceful and sustainable world.
