Travel Smart:
Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure the best way to ensure a relaxing trip is to prevent problems before they happen so take the time to learn as much as possible about the country you
plan to visit, read up on the history, culture and politics and try to learn a few phrases in the local language. When you are in a foreign country you are subject to its laws, so, learn about local laws and customs.
All travelers between the U.S. and the Caribbean will be required to carry passports, as mandated by the United States Department of Homeland Security. Under a new Immigration law known as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, all U.S. citizens and Foreign nationals, whether traveling by air or sea, must provide a passport to enter or re-enter the U.S. from both vacation and business travel.
