It is known for its well-trained, industrious people, its stable government, a wide range of accommodations and attractions and its fine coral-sand beaches.Barbados is a mature Caribbean tourism destination. Large-scale tourism development dates back to the late 50s and early 60s but colonial ties to Britain had made Barbados a popular destination for wealthy British nationals for many years before World War II.The tourism product in Barbados is diverse and includes varied accommodation - hotel rooms, villas and guest houses -, scores of restaurants and other food and beverage facilities, nature attractions including caves and marine parks, historic sites, festivals, golf courses and a range of other activities.By the end of 2003, the island had hosted over 1 million tourists, of whom 531,211 were stay-over visitors and 559,000 were cruise ship visitors. Accommodation for tourists is targeted to increase from approximately 7,250 rooms in 2003 to approximately 9,500 rooms by 2010.Over 70% of the country's foreign exchange is earned by the tourism sector. It was anticipated that by the end of 2003 Tourism's contribution to real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would have been in the region of 11.8%.CARIBBEAN 100% FINANCE SCHEME** Only £1,000 required until completion**Guaranteed mortgage upon completion**This is an excellent opportunity to invest in a brand new property with only £1,000 required. See the example process below:· £1,000 non-refundable reservation fee required for reservation of a specific property.· 30% deposit required (less £1,000) within 45 days of reservation. Should you choose to borrow the 30% deposit, the developer will pay the loan repayments, including interest, for the 30% deposit until completion of the specific unit you have reserved. These payments will then be added to the purchase price upon completion.· Example: Property price £200,000. £1,000 reservation fee paid. The deposit = £200,000 x 30% = £60,000 - £1,000 (reservation fee) = £59,000· Interest on £59,000 @ 6%pa = £295 per month, paid for 24 months by the developer = £7,080 added to the purchase price upon completion.Due to the significantly discounted off-plan contract price and the capital appreciation during the construction phase, it is anticipated that the £200,000 purchase price will have grown to a property value at completion of circa £325,000.At this point a 70% loan to value guaranteed mortgage is available and therefore you will be able to borrow up to £227,500. This is clearly ample to pay for the £199,000 (purchase price less £1,000 reservation fee) that you owe as well as the accrued interest of £7,080 (from the above example).Assuming you borrowed the maximum loan to value mortgage, available from the example above, you would borrow £227,500 on which the annual interest payment would be £18,200 based on a rate of 8%. The rental guarantee of 10% of your purchase price of £200,000 will generate you an income of £20,000 per year, should cover your mortgage payments.If you wish you could retain the £59,000 loan you took out for the deposit, pay the interest yourself each month, from completion onwards, and use the money to invest in a further investment property purchase.We would be delighted to answer any further questions you have regarding the exciting opportunity as well as helping you to make your reservation in the Caribbean.· Subject to status and conditions apply - please contact us for further information· If cases where we are unable to obtain finance for you, we will be prepared to refund the £1,000 reservation fee
