IN THE ZONE Newsletter #5, 3rd quarter 2012
EDITORIAL
The team of the ACS Directorate of Sustainable Tourism (DST) is pleased to present, our fifth edition of In the ZONE, a newsletter focusing on Sustainable Tourism in the Greater Caribbean.
In this edition, we are exploring the arts and craft of the Greater Caribbean, namely Haiti, Grenada, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and Dominica. Each of which has its own unique aesthetic expression, from the hand woven craft products made in Dominica to the wood carved commercial products made in Haiti.
Furthermore, we would like to thank the members of the various Ministries of Tourism, Embassies and Caribbean Organizations who contributed to this publication and we look forward to receiving further submissions of articles and pictures for our future editions as we continue to showcase the beautiful people, remarkable heritage and diverse culture of our region.
We wish you health, peace and joy for the year 2013.
