Investing In Caribbean Real Estate

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. Aug, 9, 2023: Investment in Caribbean real estate can yield long-term income gains and can even enable citizenship investment programs, with properties typically approved by governments being luxury hotels and resorts.

When purchasing Caribbean real estate, it is crucial to take note of any taxes or fees associated with ownership. For instance, sellers are subject to stamp duty based on a percentage of property value.

Benefits of investing in real estate in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is an attractive real estate investment destination for international buyers, boasting an established economy and offering low entry points into luxury properties. Furthermore, this region largely avoided being affected by the global financial crisis, providing promising medium to long term profitability prospects for real estate investments there.

Investors looking for property investments in the Caribbean can select from villas, condos and family homes. Some of the best Caribbean properties are found near golf courses, beaches, restaurants and tourist hot spots – many islands boast zero tax regimes for foreign investors. Especially when adding home warranty policies. But, remember that it is not always that home warranty cover AC unit options.

Investment in Caribbean real estate can also provide an ideal opportunity to obtain a second passport. Many Caribbean nations provide citizenship by investment programs that grant second citizenship status and enable you to travel freely.

Tax-free income

Investment property in the Caribbean can be an extremely profitable asset. Flats with two to three bedrooms are often purchased and then rented out year round to tourists, producing ongoing revenue for investors. When selecting your project, however, ensure it has been authorized by government authorities as this will help avoid fraud and protect your investments.

Investors who purchase property through citizenship programs may enjoy tax-free income.

Second passport

When investing in Caribbean real estate, it is crucial to maintain an open mindset. A second passport opens doors to new opportunities while providing contingency planning solutions. Furthermore, having multiple properties in multiple Caribbean islands provides powerful wealth planning tools.

The Caribbean offers one of the fastest and most cost-effective citizenship by investment programs available today, featuring real estate investment options as well as donations to government-approved funds for economic development. Furthermore, no taxes on international income or residency requirements exist in this jurisdiction.

News Americas, MELBOURNE, Australia, Tues. Aug. 8, 2023: Tears were shed today as Jamaica’s story book Reggae Girlz rise in women’s soccer world cup history was stopped by Colombia in the Round of 16 match at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.

Colombia’s victory over Jamaica was secured by a crucial second-half goal from Catalina Usme, leading them to a 1-0 win and a historic spot in the Women’s World Cup quarter-finals. The match at the packed Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Tuesday witnessed a frenzy of excitement among Colombian fans as many of the Girlz cried openly.

Up until halftime, the game had been tense and physical, but it truly came to life after Usme’s breakthrough in the 51st minute. This marked the first time Jamaica’s defense had been breached in the entire World Cup, prompting both teams to attack relentlessly.

Jamaica’s solid defense had kept Colombia’s talented player Linda Caicedo quiet on the left flank for most of the game, forcing the South Americans to wait until the 38th minute for their first decent scoring chance, which unfortunately went wasted.

Referee Kate Jacewicz had to intervene due to Jamaica’s physical play, issuing yellow cards to defender Chantelle Swaby and midfielder Drew Spence just before halftime.

It was Usme’s brilliance that broke the deadlock, as she skillfully maneuvered past Jamaica’s defender Deneisha Blackwood and scored a well-placed, left-footed strike inside the far post.

Jamaica had a golden opportunity to equalize three minutes later when Blackwood’s corner found Jody Brown in front of the goal, but Brown’s header hit the base of the left post.

As the regulation time dwindled, Jamaica desperately pressed forward, trying to find the equalizer. Drew Spence came close to scoring with a header in the 82nd minute, but it narrowly missed the left post, allowing Colombia to hold firm until the final whistle.

Despite the disappointment of not scoring in the World Cup, Jamaica’s attacking force Khadija Shaw, known for her impressive record at Manchester City, remained positive in a post-game interview, acknowledging that progress is being made in women’s football.

“We just have to be proud of our performance and lift our heads up,” Shaw said in a post-game television interview. “The gap is closing.”

Tourist Allure: The Intersection of Casino Resorts And Tourism In The Caribbean

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. Aug. 8, 2023: When you think of the Caribbean, pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and vibrant culture are likely to come to mind. However, over the years, a new player has emerged on the scene, enhancing the tourism experience and attracting travelers from around the world: casino resorts. 

The intersection of casino entertainment and tourism in the Caribbean has transformed the region into a haven for beach lovers and those seeking thrilling gaming experiences that you can enjoy online with betway casino. In this article, you’ll explore how casino resorts have become an integral part of the Caribbean’s tourism allure.

The Allure of Casino Resorts

Casino resorts in the Caribbean offer a unique blend of relaxation and excitement, drawing in travelers with diverse interests. These resorts provide a one-stop destination where visitors can enjoy luxurious accommodations, fine dining, entertainment shows, and of course, the thrill of casino gaming. Whether it’s blackjack, roulette, or slot machines, these casinos offer a range of options to cater to different preferences.

Boosting Local Economies

One of the most significant impacts of casino resorts on the Caribbean is the economic boost they bring to local communities. These resorts create job opportunities across various sectors, from hospitality to entertainment. Additionally, the influx of tourists stimulates the local economy by increasing demand for goods, services and transportation. Taxes and revenues generated from the casinos contribute to infrastructure development and social programs, thus benefiting the region.

Enhancing Tourism Appeal

The presence of casino resorts has expanded the appeal of the Caribbean beyond its natural beauty. Travelers now have an additional incentive to visit, especially those who enjoy both leisure and gaming activities. This diversification of offerings ensures that the Caribbean remains an attractive destination for many tourists, from honeymooners to solo adventurers.

Entertainment Beyond Gaming

Modern casino resorts offer far more than just gambling. From spa treatments and wellness programs to themed parties and live entertainment, these resorts curate an immersive experience for their guests. This creates a well-rounded getaway where visitors can unwind by the pool, indulge in culinary delights, and enjoy vibrant nightlife, all under one roof.

Challenges and Considerations

While casino resorts bring numerous benefits, they also present challenges, such as responsible gambling concerns and potential societal impacts. Local regulations and collaboration with responsible gambling organizations are essential to ensure that gaming remains a form of entertainment without detrimental consequences.

As these resorts continue to flourish, finding a harmonious balance between entertainment and responsible gambling practices remains crucial to sustain the positive impact on local communities and maintaining the allure of the Caribbean as a multifaceted travel destination.

West Indies Win Thriller In Trinidad

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, Thurs. Aug. 3, 2023: In a thrilling encounter at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, West Indies and India faced off in their first T20 International. Despite India’s previous Test and One Day International series victories, they suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of West Indies. Debutant Tilak Varma shone with the bat for India, but Romario Shepherd’s composed bowling at the death secured the win for the hosts.

West Indies emerged victorious by a mere four runs, dampening India’s spirits in their 200th T20 International. Having dominated the Test and One Day series, India entered the match with confidence, but West Indies displayed an excellent bowling performance to claim the win.

Batting first, West Indies set a target of 149 runs in their 20 overs, led by the contributions of Nicholas Pooran (41 off 34) and captain Rovman Powell (48 off 32). Despite a below-par total, their exceptional fielding and bowling efforts compensated for it.

India’s openers, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, fell cheaply, but Suryakumar Yadav (21 off 21) and the debutant Tilak Varma (39 off 22) injected pace into the innings. Varma’s debut performance was remarkable, hitting two sixes in his first two scoring shots. However, Romario Shepherd’s exceptional fielding skills resulted in crucial dismissals, including a diving catch to remove Yadav and a spectacular catch to dismiss Axar Patel.

With Jason Holder’s impressive performance (2 wickets for 19 runs), West Indies tightened their grip on the match. In the final over, Shepherd had nine runs to defend, and he did so with excellence, dismissing Kuldeep Yadav with a brilliant yorker to secure West Indies’ victory.

The five-match T20I series presents an opportunity for West Indies to make a strong comeback, and they have gained the upper hand heading into the second game in Guyana.
