Barbados is an island nation in the West Indies located in the Atlantic Ocean and northeast of Venezuela. The island is part of a long underwater mountain range that rises above sea level. The population is approximately 280,000 people.
Until 1966 when Barbados gained independence, it was a colony of the United Kingdom. The government is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy.
Since becoming independent in 1966, Barbados has gone from being a poor economy dependent upon sugarcane to a prosperous economy based mainly on tourism. Also important to the economy are the financial sector and light manufacturing.
Barbados’ mild tropical climate with constant trade winds and the beautiful beaches draw visitors, along with duty-free shopping, wildlife reserves, scuba diving and snorkeling, and caves to explore.
