With two beach clean ups done, it’s time for #3.
Barbados Guide (www.bds.guide) continues to update and expand our suite of online products and grow our user base. This year we launched Carib.Market (www.carib.market) an online multi vendor marketplace, designed to quickly get business selling online. We have also grown our Barbados Guide platform’s user base to over 7,500 visitors per month and climbing. We’re seeing monthly increased activity as locals and people from across the globe choose us, for their localized search needs. With a direct link from search results to Carib Market, businesses and vendors wanting to sell their goods and services online, now have immediate access to a willing local marketplace. Removing the need for cash, via redeemable digital gift certificates, coupons for service providers, and delivery options for local products and needed grocery items.

Another great partner is Paradise Foods, they offer the most comprehensive marine inventory, across the Caribbean that is all accessible through their innovative app. There you can order groceries whenever you want, and wherever you are: either from the anchorage on the day you plan to sail out, or even well in advance of your trip. Like our Carib Market home delivery option, they bring the provisions you need to your boat – whether at anchor in a bay, or docked at a pier! Of course Fresh coffee from Pop Up Coffee, will be available, and our friends from Enlightened Travelers unique hiking specialists will also be rejoining us to help clear the beach.

This event is again, partnering with Soul Street, a compassionate documentary film company and foundation from California. They film, find and fund inspirational content across the American Urban landscape, and are currently creating a culturally relevant local documentary to the Barbadian landscape. As part of their rhythmic outlook, we will be having a small fun Beach Bucket Drum Circle Session to conclude the effort. Together, we continue to make waves and some music in the fight against beach pollution!
