Outgoing Minister of Tourism & Economic Affairs Hon. Franklin Meyers said he is very pleased that the country has been ranked #9 as one of the Best Islands in the World, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The section "Best Islands in the World," describes what is it about an island that immediately invokes a daydream? That feeling of seclusion, for sure, but also those sprawling beaches, those rolling waves, and those untouched pockets of wilderness. For an island to be considered one of the "best," it must have that je ne sais quoi – that magical spark. The islands listed here have that little extra something that keeps travellers enchanted.
The islands that fall in the top 10 ranking are: Maldives, Bora Bora, St. Kitts & Nevis, Santorini, Seychelles, Fiji, Maui, Cayman Islands, St. Martin/St. Maarten, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
