Caribbean Business Travel Destinations
The Caribbean isn't just a destination for fun in the sun: it's also a vibrant business destination. The $20-billion-plus tourism industry of course plays a big role in the Caribbean economy, but business travelers also are drawn by offshore finance and banking interests and industries like pharamceuticals and energy.

Opening of the Puerto Rico Convention Center
The recent opening of the Puerto Rico Convention Center already has proved to be a boon for local hotels as well as the island's reputation as a meetings destination. At the same time, the lack of a headquarters hotel and a lodging shortage in San Juan mean that the center likely won't operate near full capacity until at least 2009.

Trinidad and Tobago Business Travel
Business travelers in much of the Caribbean can't be blamed for feeling like fish out of water as they tote briefcases through tropical airports jammed with tourists from the U.S., Canada, and Europe. But that's hardly the case in Trinidad, where oil and gas are king, and business travelers have outnumbered sun worshippers for decades.
