Many people are working quietly in the background designing theBrac with precision, creating a combination of seclusion and sophistication,to become the destination of renowned international appreciation.
The newly-appointed Minister for Tourism, Environment and Transport,the Honorable McKeeva Bush, has Cayman Brac as one of his prioritiesincluded in his positive approach to the tourist market of today.
We may not feel as yet that the most positive exciting times arein the making for the Sister Island of Cayman Brac. After all,we are talking about a sluggish tourist market all over the Caribbean.
Since the Brac was kept like a precious jewel, as the island thattime forgot, determined to be polished when the time was right,the significant time to create the BEST there is....is now !
Creating an additional exclusive escape for the Cayman touristmarket.
The Brac is a place molded by indigenous culture of many differentbackgrounds, strongly influenced by community values. Inevitablethat traditional local culture will be increasingly difficultto retain.
Ultimately, a newer modern society will emerge, but still, itwill be able to be holding on to its cultural identity. Timeshave changed ALL over the world; it is by CHOICE that we are teachingand choosing which of the cultural old ways we are holding onto.
The Brac will stay preserved, with all its all time memories,yet entering the 21st Century with the determination to achievea positive future. Investors that are looking toward Cayman Brac,finding solutions that even five star resorts, will blend intothis fascinating laid-back society. The drawing card will be holdingon to the Brac's cultural identity.
The previously-mentioned Brac-Cuban connection, this unique
combination of the Brac's exclusive secluded villa and condominiumresort hideaway, offering a high quality lifestyle, yet with onlya short plane ride to the glittering nightlife of Cuba, whereone is able to enjoy a great partying weekend.
With this year's somewhat slower tourist season, it is not theanswer to look around for whom we may find that we could put theblame on. We must look around and identify the Cayman Islands'assets. There are too many to count; treasures that make up Caymanculture, Cayman's business sectors, and private lifestyles.
Concentrating on all the positive aspects of the present economy,applying the assets and offer today' tourist a new phase of beingtotally pampered and appreciated.
Showing off Cayman's cultural identity
Since these islands are marketed largely to an upper class society,Cayman must now enter the SECOND phase in tourist development- presenting new amenities; finding a niche within the missinglink; identifying where and how to preserve its identity; forgingahead within this highly competitive market; renewing the higheststandard of services to captivate each visitor.
Each sector in the Cayman society has been through an explosionof economic growth and development. Now, Cayman must be the best...becomethe BEST there is....
The Brac is being considered as a blend of preservation with secludedluxury living, offering world-renowned amenities, a balance isfound to complement Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
Phase TWO of Cayman's tourist market inter-connects all threedestinations, showing off its ideal unique selection, offeringthe power of team work. The combination of totally different amenitieswithin the same Island group is maximising the market's potentials,providing each visitor with the location of their dream. Afterall, the Cayman Islands have kept some of their jewels a secret.
Enjoying all of Grand Cayman, than flying to the most preciouspossession of the Caymans: Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
A day tour, an extended holiday, for just a little while, somewhatback in time....and still being pampered with ordained amenities,the professional touch of knowing what each visitor desires.
They can have it all ....the really lively Grand Cayman Island;the exotic, laid-back, dreamy Island of Cayman Brac; and the carefree,secluded, striking island of Little Cayman; the Sister Islandsdesigned for the most discerning of visitors and residents.
