The Anguillan culture is a mixture of British and African influences. This area of the Leeward is devoid of much rainfall, consequently, the island is arid and devoid of much forestation. The Anguillans focus their attention toward the sea, and therefore there is a great deal of interest in boat racing. There are a great number of unfinished homes there, as there are several Anguillans living abroad, who build their homes and furnish them base on spending capital earned overseas.

Hi,
Anguilla sland has recently been developing its tourist industry,andthe island had no visitor facilities. But government has taken decision to invest in the facilities as the island has some of the finest beaches in the Eastern Caribbean.

Yeah, this is one of few places in the world to maintain traditional culture and the beauty of nature. The Anguillans sincerely believe in the sun, the moon and the cavern. Now this is mixed with tourism, hope that it won’t be ruined by modern enjoyment. But it does need tourism to stimulate the economy. Well, I’m lost, don’t know which is right. A dilemma, as Hamlet said.
