Caribbean Beat coverNov. 20, 2010 -- The latest issue (#106: November/December) of Caribbean Beat, the inflight magazine of Caribbean Airlines, is all new for the Caribbean's festive season! As always, it's packed with stories about the people, places and experiences that make the Caribbean so special.

The top ten things to do in Jamaica? Caribbean Beat asked Nazma Muller to list them – and she came up with dozens! Eating jerk pork, taking zipline tours through the forest canopy, camel rides, rafting, listening to reggae...the list is endless.

As well as exciting places, Caribbean Beat also focuses on fascinating people. Sydney Allicock is an award-winning Guyanese advocate, environmentalist and poet. A chief of the Makushi, one of Guyana’s First Peoples, Allicock has helped to develop community- based ecotourism in the Iwokrama nature reserve. We profile this unassuming visionary.

Deep in the countryside of south Trinidad, Shamshu Deen grows produce on his own estate. But he also digs up other kinds of roots – he’s the leading local genealogist, pioneering research into the ancestry of local people of Indian descent. Kevin Baldeosingh writes about the man and his methods.

We’re coming up to Christmas—but the Christmas season started in August for Barbara Fuller-Provoteaux. At 82, she still does the full works –sorrel, ham, ponche à crème, pastelles and black cake, painting the house and putting up new curtains. She can’t wait till it gets here, and she explained to Caribbean Beat why for her, as for so many Caribbean people, Christmas is the best day of the year.

Caribbean Beat also covers entertainment, personalities, food, and history, as well as offering our regular roundup of events, music and books that are reflecting the region right now.
