And this is true in Europe from investments made. However, if the ecology at Mike Jarrett as it is in the Caribbean. Except, this year, following a cruise ship destinations is not sustained, with the Editor hurricane season that caused more destruction than many can remember, those small Caribbean ports that “... if the ecology at cruise ship destinations were unaffected and left intact by the cyclones may get is not sustained, with the balances that made even more cruise traffic than was initially scheduled, these idyllic ports enchanting and romantic, thanks to re-routing and temporary re-scheduling. then all that was invested in real estate Cruise ships cram ports and technology would be at risk.” Jane Archer, writing for the Telegraph (UK) recently stated: “I have visited Grand Cayman (population 49,500) in the Caribbean when four ships, each with more than 2,000 passengers on board – mine had 4,000 – descended at once one morning. The main tourist attraction, Stingray City, where you can walk in the water with these Frisbee-like fish, was more like a Disney theme park in high summer. It was even worse in St Thomas earlier this year – six ships, each with capacity for well over 2,500 passengers jostling for space in the tiny capital of Charlotte Amalie.” The fact is, no one, cruise passenger or local, likes the extreme congestion and confusion of too many persons landed in the same port at the same time. However, most accept that reality as a necessary evil. It’s good for the economy so accept it. But is it good for the economy? If cruise passengers find it increasingly more comfortable to stay on the ship while in port, how does that help the local economy and provide an income for itinerant vendors, ground transportation providers, attractions operators, restaurateurs, et al.?

Barbados has continuously incurred debt, from international financing institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, since its independence from Great Britain in 1966. As of 2017, the estimated national debt of Barbados is $7.92 billion (USD).1 Sir Hillary Beckles, Michael Howard, and other economic experts and professors at the University of the West Indies, believe the country has gone into debt for a variety of different reasons.

    Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) Barbados Port Inc. – BARBADOS Original language of the document: English Issue date: October 2020 1. General Information of the Project and Overview of Scope of IDB Invest’s Review The Port of Bridgetown Barbados (“BPI”, the “Port” or the “Company”) is a combined facility which operates two functions through one port of entry: cruise tourism and cargo operations. BPI, a state-owned entity, is planning to build a waste-to-energy (“WTE”) system consisting of an incinerator and an organic or Steam Rankine Cycle turbine to manage waste produced from cruise ships and port operations and to produce energy through the conversion of thermal to electrical energy. The Company is also planning to install an additional 500 kW of rooftop solar photovoltaic (“PV”) system to double the generation capacity of its existing 500 kW system. These proposed activities are all known as the “Project”. The scope of IDB Invest’s environmental and social (“E&S”) review included online meetings and phone calls with: i) BPI’s team (BPI’s management and technical specialists); ii) a service provider (garbage disposal company); and iii) Hatch Ltd. (“Hatch”), a third-party technical engineering firm hired by IDB Invest to support BPI in identifying feasible WTE technologies.1 The review focused on: i) BPI’s corporate, environmental, social, and occupational health and safety management procedures and policies; and ii) a feasibility study for WTE and solar PV facilities developed by Hatch. The environmental and social due diligence ("ESDD") process took place in July 2020 and was conducted in a virtual form due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s traveling restrictions.

LANGUAGE ATTITUDES, IDENTITY, AND MIGRATION 2 Abstract The social, political, and linguistic situations in Barbados specifically and the English- official West Indies generally are marked by the legacy of hundreds of years of colonial rule. Labor flows from poorer countries like Guyana to richer ones like Barbados calcify regional economic hierarchies that replaced regional colonial offices. Regional economic institutions like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), as described by their Mission and Core Values, were created in part to “affirm the collective identity and facilitate social cohesion of the people of the Community” to enable the new intraregional, no longer colonial, market to take
