The next utopia
By Donna J. Jodhan

So much has been and continues to be said about certain countries being the
choice of home for millions of North American retirees.
Mexico seems to be the front runner with Panama running a strong second
followed by others but what about the Caribbean?
Could the Caribbean be the next utopia for millions of North American
retirees?
With a chain of islands that sit like tiny emeralds in a blue sea, The
caribbean may very well be poised to become home for millions upon their
retirement.

True it is that the Caribbean may not be as well developed when it comes to
suchthings as classy and comfortable facilities, health care, and medical
services but there is no reason why this cannot change. With the advent of
the Internet, along with those who are eager to start and expand their
businesses, the Caribbean could be the ideal solution to finding homes
for millions of retirees who are in the market for homes outside of North
America ; especially homes that lie in the sunny south. The Caribbean is no
stranger to tourism so it will not be too big a step to offer alternatives
of sunny retirement spots to North American retirees.

There are some islands that are a bit more advanced than others when it
comes to the provision of modern facilities. Barbados, St. Martin, St.
Lucia, Grenada, and Antigua are just a few to be named.
The Caribbean is still very much untouched, and unexplored when it comes to
the development of retirement facilities. The Caribbean has one major
advantage in that it lies close to the United States and is quite accessible
by air.
However, before anyone decides to take a more serious look at the Caribbean
as the next utopia for North American retirees, there are certain facts that
need to be addressed.
Here is a short list that is by no means complete.

Modern medical facilities need to be developed.
Modern and comfortable retirement complexes need to be designed and built.
Appropriate infrastructures need to be put in place on those islands whose
governments choose to adopt this concept.
People of the Caribbean islands need to be trained with regard to how to
become good hosts to retirees.
Above all, the problems of drugs and crime need to be dealt with.

The people of the Caribbean are naturally very friendly so it should not be
too difficult to introduce this idea to them. This is not a new concept;
many experts have already been promoting this idea so we shall wait to see
how far it goes.
