Barbados is particularly well known in the Caribbean for sports tourism. The locals have a proud and timeless reputation for being avid sportsmen and sportswomen and the island itself is known for providing world-class facilities and a wide range of activities. 

Its temperate climate and lush exotic landscape make Barbados the idyll of many a sports aficionado. Cricket is probably the sport closest to the heart of Bajans, but activities of all kinds are enthusiastically supported here. Fabulous courses and facilities dot the island, fulfilling every golfer's fantasy. And the island also enjoys a long-standing tradition of good horsemanship; for an afternoon of fun and excitement, go for the sport of kings – horseracing.

Our local teams love a good match against overseas players and the sports calendar is filled with international tournaments.
