What is Barbados famours for?

Answer 1

Barbados is a popular tourist destination and it is famous for its beautiful weather, scenery, beaches and its friendly people. The island also lays claim to being the first country to produce rum......even if this is not true it is definitely one of the first producers of rum. Barbados is also famous for cricket and many Barbadians have made the west indies cricket team, probably the most famous being Sir Garfield Sobers, arguably the best all-rounder ever. Obadele Thompson won Barbados' only individual medal at the Sydney Olympics when he won a Bronze in the 100m. Barbados is also noted for its very high literacy rate (one of the highest in the world), relatively high standard of living, low (by regional standards) crime rate, and its stable democratic government. The island is one of the pioneers of solar energy, and most homes have solar powered water. More recently the islands festivals (Crop Over, Holders Opera, Jazz Festival) and entertainers like Rihanna and Shontelle (both born and bred on the island) have put the country on the map.
