It is a modern emerging nation which is ready for the 21st century i.e. fiber optic telephone system, internet access, cable TV, resurfaced main roads, recently renovated electrical distribution, excellent water supply system, business-friendly banking and financial services, a modern airport that accommodates small private jets to jumbo jets and an educational system aimed at providing a skilled work force.  Add to these features the natural beauty and peacefulness of the island and you have the "Jewel of the Caribbean".
