Martinique was the runaway winner in the recent "Best Caribbean Destination” poll conducted by About.com’s caribbean travel site (www.gocaribbean.about.com).
The Isle of Flowers was the preferred choice of 38 percent of the 3,800 voters, out-pacing second place finishers Dominica and St. Kitts and Nevis, each with 26 percent of the vote.
Among the seven other finalists placing even further behind Martinique were such notables as Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, the Mexican Caribbean (Cancun, Cozumel, etc.), Costa Rica, Antigua and Barbuda and St. Maarten/St. Martin.
Muriel Wiltord, director Americas for the Martinique Promotion Bureau /CMT USA, commented on the survey results, stating: "This is a wonderful affirmation that our special brand of tourism product, characterized by intimate boutique hotels and emphasizing nature, a rich cultural heritage, romance, scuba diving and gastronomy is winning the hearts of U.S. travelers.”
