Winter Caribbean access

The Caribbean is to become even more accessible for 'fun in the sun' as of 25th October this year when British Airways (BA) begin their new twice-weekly service from London Gatwick to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic; they are increasing the number of flights to St. Lucia to 5 per week, up from 3, and Barbados will reach double figures for weekly flights.

This is positive news for Caribbean property markets with more flights meaning increased access for holiday renters over the winter getaway period. This was reiterated by Paolo De Reniz, Area Commercial Manager Middle East: "The Caribbean tends to be a popular destination with our leisure customers seeking a relaxing winter break... From October, we will fly 45 times a week to the Caribbean and be servicing 13 destinations in the region - more than any other UK airline."

For global real estate agency Experience International, who sells property in the Dominican Republic as well as other Caribbean destinations, the news from BA comes as a breath of fresh air amidst the more gloomy property news frequenting our headlines. Steve Worboys, MD of Experience International comments, "The Caribbean has always been a desirable location for property hunters seeking their investment in the sun, over the last few years interest has spread from the likes of the Bahamas to other islands which are more affordable for buyers, without compromising on the quality of property available and the relaxed lifestyle. Two bedroom apartments with sea views can be purchased from £70,000 with the added appeal of golf and exceptional resort facilities."
