Als marketingondersteuning voor de toeristische bedrijven opgenomen in het STEP-programma
is er een website opgezet om deze bedrijven te promoten:
www.caribbean-experiences.com
Deze website is bedoelt om reizigers zoals u, die op zoek zijn naar nieuwe plaatsen, interessante plekken, autentieke ervaringen, van advies te dienen
bij het vinden van bij uw levensstijl geschikte accomodatie. U hoeft niet te zoeken en te raden waar u de beste accommodatie voor de beste prijs kunt krijgen,
de mensen van Caribbean Experiences hebben dat al voor u uitgezocht. Vooral accommodatie die niet gericht is op massa tourisme, accomodatie
die lekker prive is en bovenal uniek. Caribbean Experiences heeft voor u de perfecte plekken gevonden voor uw vakantieverblijf.
