    You'll be amazed by all there is to see!!! Peter Please know that our tour through the farm was most inspiring. We live in Texas and have a small butterfly garden, which I hope to expand in the coming months. barbara Just wanted to let you know that the visit to your Grand Cayman site was the highlight of our trip. I wish I had an audio tape or better yet, a video on Toni's extremely informative presentation. Thank you again. Your kind gesture of saying good‐bye as we departed your fabulous facility was sincerely appreciated. Dick and Lorna Thank you for making such a beautiful place and for all the knowledge that you pass on. I have not stopped talking about it and share my experience with everyone that will listen! Theresa We recently visited your farm on our island tour. We thoroughly enjoyed not only the beauty of the butterflies but also all the information provided. Irv We enjoyed our visit with our parents & grandparents. The butterfly's came right over and sat on our fingers. Wyatt & Alyson I thought you have a very beautiful and informitive web site. keep up the good work. Tammy Levy I look forward to seeing your online giftshop. Sandra Hadley We were at the Butterfly farm in St. Martin earlier this month. We have always wanted to stop there, but we always seem to think the beaches are more important. We had a marvelous experience. We actually spent 2 days visiting the farm. It is a remarkable place. Our grandson loves butterflies, so I took about 50 pictures to share with him.

The Master Plan will set the foundation to start shaping the development needed to maintain and develop a sustainable and thriving tourist destination.” Central to WCTMP development is conducting comprehensive research around the potential of the Western Cape for travellers from two priority global regions, namely: 1) The Americas: representing 16.64% of current overseas travellers to South Africa with 57.2% of those visitors going to the Western Cape (WESGRO) 2) Europe: representing 60.57% of current overseas travellers to South Africa with 62.0% of those visitors going to the Western Cape (WESGRO) with emphasis on Megatrends and Destination Potential. This process is well underway, with Draft 2 of AM&A’s research underway with DEDAT. Within the report composed by AM&A, 15 Traveller Megatrends were identified as central to shaping the future of tourism growth globally. Within the 15, one of them, namely CRUISE TOURISM (no. 10), represents a significant, continuous- growth niche within global tourism.
