EDITOR’S NOTES November has been a buoyant month for the Beautiful Caribbean region. Business growth is tangible and the housing sector is booming. As we quickly march towards 2025, the skies remain clear for this region as it rides an economic wave. Business View captured this economic vitality for our November issue. We spoke to some leaders in their field and took the business temperature by profiling several dynamic organizations based in the region, focusing on their business-savvy approach and continued efforts to capture growth opportunities throughout the islands. We offer our readers a glimpse into the recent developments with the Sheraton Mall in beautiful Barbados and discover some upcoming plans for this popular island shopping venue. We also had a chance to sit down with the Marketing Director of the internationally recognized Jamaica Pegasus Hotel to talk about its fascinating history, notable guests over the years, and anticipated projects leading into 2025. This month’s issue also covered the workings of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica. With a leading approach and plans for 2025, the last half of the fourth 2024 fiscal quarter looks sunny. We also sat down with Vista Real Estate to discover how this leading real estate company is capturing the hot real estate market. November’s issue also brings our valued readers an in-depth civic profile of the beautiful and growing Belize City. It is as clear as the crystal waters surrounding the islands that continued growth is on the Caribbean horizon, as are the progressive initiatives of those we were fortunate to chat with. With sustainability in mind, best business practices up front, and a resilient economy at their fingertips, the undeniable draw of the Caribbean islands remains tangible. As with every issue, my hope as editor-in-chief is that our valued readers continue to learn something new with each issue we produce for you and that November treats you well as you experience the remainder of the fall that lies ahead.
