The total population is around, 8.7 mill. and its capital is Port-au-Prince. Haiti has remained the least-developed country in the Americas. The earthquake in January 2010 has made Haiti a place not to travel to as a tourist.

The total area is 280 sq. km., the population around 82,000, and the capital is Saint Johns. Antigua is famous for its many exclusive luxury resorts.

Of the millions of tourists that visit the islands annually, 99% visit the main island Grand Cayman and Georg Town, the capital, that also serves as a major cruise ship port, bringing up to 22,000 tourists a day.

Grenada includes the southern Grenadines in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, to the north of Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. Tourism is concentrated in the southwest of the island St. Georges, Grand Anse, Lance Aux Epines and Point Salines. Grenada has many idyllic beaches around its coastline including the 3 km. long Grand Anse Beach in St Georges, which is considers to be one of the finest beaches in the world.

Most of the other islands also have tourism although some are so volcanic (Dominica) that there are no beaches, and others are virtually uninhabited (Navassa Island).
