Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are located in the Caribbean Sea to the north west of Jamaica and to the south of Cuba. This region is the economic centre of the Caribbean. The island group comprises of three islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. The most developed island is the Grand Cayman, that is 8 miles in width and 22 miles in length. Regardless of being a British Overseas Territory, most of the visitors are Americans. It’s just about one and a half hours from Florida by air. With its short travelling time as well as English as the official language it is no surprise that thousands of Us citizens have a Cayman Islands vacation each year.


Cayman Islands have high living standards, and most of the population of these islands resides on Grand Cayman. The majority of the citizens are the Protestants of British or African descent and most of them are from the mixed racial ethnicity. The official language of Cayman Islands is English. People accents retain the elements passed down from English, Scottish, and Welsh settlers. Inhabitants of Jamaican origin converse in their own language. The history of Cayman Islands is affluent with stunning details, and the islands have a great weather. The coolest month is February, and the hottest month is in July.

Cayman IslandsThe old sea based sectors such as shipping and fishing have been replaced by tourism and finance as the main sources for the Islands economy, with many islanders employed in one or the other. The Cayman Islands attracts many international companies and citizens to relocate as a result of its success in the tourism and financial service industries.

The prosperity of the Cayman Islands originates from the distinction of having over 25,000 registered companies, and over 500 international financial institutions situated on their shores. The Cayman Islands have a unique registering system that allows businesses to be legitimately registered by just paying a fee. It’s no wonder the Cayman Islands are a safe haven for offshore investments which offer lucrative tax shelters.

The seas around the Caymans are one of the best in the world for water activities. There are many providers that can help to make the most of the seas, including snorkelling, diving, fishing and sailing. Scuba diving and snorkelling are the most favoured tourist activities in Cayman Islands especially at the Stingray City, the world’s best spot for a 10-foot dive. At Stingray City can also enjoy the adventure of swimming with many sea creatures.

Another prime attraction in the Caymans includes its powder-white sand which stretches out into the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Tiny reefs are often found off the shore and are favourite spot for snorkelers. Man-made reefs found in island resorts of the beach are also loved by beginners where numerous marine life forms are also artificially taken care in big marine aquariums.

Cayman Islands News, Articles and Information

UK 'must help Enron-case bankers'

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is being urged to cancel the extradition to the United States of three former NatWest bankers accused on Enron-related fraud charges.

A decision by the European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday to reject a final appeal by the men has been greeted with dismay by the business community.

David Bermingham, Gary Mulgrew and Giles Darby maintain their innocence but could face up to 23 years in prison if convicted of fraud, in connection with a deal they worked on with energy trader Enron in 2000.

The case has prompted criticism over the use of extradition laws as the U.S. is not required to provide solid evidence of wrongdoing to extradite a UK citizen.

Digby Jones, director-general of the Confederation of British Industry, urged Blair to intervene on Wednesday and "defend the human rights of British citizens that are being abused by a country which is supposedly our greatest ally," the Press Association reported.



Teens plead guilty to sex charges

THREE of the four teenagers accused of gang raping an underage girl on New Years Day 2005 have pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated sexual intercourse in company.

The now 18-year-old men, from Goonellabah and Lismore, still face the more serious charge of aggravated sexual assault from the same incident at Lennox Head.

The boys were initially charged over the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl at 12.50am on January 1, 2005, at Lennox Head as an estimated 16,000 people celebrated in the town.

The scene of the alleged multiple rape was south of Lennox Head Surf Club.

Almost a hurricane

It's shaping up to be another weird hurricane season, with the first little unorganized tropical depression of the year now an extremely powerful tropical storm churning just off Florida's Gulf Coast.

And it's getting stronger. The whole area is now under an official Hurricane Warning.

On Saturday morning, meteorologists were laughing at Tropical Depression No. 1, nature's first entry in the 2006 hurricane season.

"Overall, this is not a well organized system because of other atmospheric conditions surrounding this area," forecasters said early Saturday.

At that point, the littlest storm had winds that barely topped 30mph. But by late Saturday, Cuba and Grand Cayman were deluged.

On Sunday, the first tropical depression became the first tropical storm of 2006.



Finding talent no longer easy

The edict of David Ritch, Chairman of the Immigration Review Team, that there is "No alternative" to the rollover policy must have the business community focusing more on what services can reasonably be outsourced to different locations, rather than on "succession planning" as Mr. Ritch hopes.

No argument, "succession planning" is good business practice, however, this assumes that there are sufficient numbers of native born Caymanians waiting in the wings ready to advance.

The debate suggests otherwise. One fact everyone seems to agree on is that Cayman does not have the workforce needed to continue "business as usual" and that it will always be dependent on an expatriate workforce - commonsense seems to dictate that the best option is to select the best from the current, long-term expatriate workforce and allow them to become full partners in the future.



Toyota Tops Quality & Assembly Plant Awards

June 8, 2006 -- Toyota and Lexus topped the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Initial Quality Study, released June 7, capturing 11 out of 19 quality awards. Toyota also received four assembly plant quality awards for producing vehicles yielding the fewest defects. In the Asia Pacific region, Toyota's Higashi-Fuji, Japan plant, which produces the Lexus SC 430, received the Silver Plant Quality award while its Georgetown, Ky. plant tied for second with DaimlerChrysler's Windsor, Ontario, Canada plant in the Silver Plant Quality award for North and South American plants.

City Council adjusts billboard code

Prompted by the arrival in the region of a lawyer known for suing towns over billboards, Arden Hills leaders Monday night tweaked their sign code as a precaution.

The changes unanimously approved by the City Council will have little effect on the scenery of the suburb, which is sliced by Interstate 694, U.S. 10 and Minnesota 96 and bounded by I-35W. But that's a good thing, said city planner James Lehnhoff, since all those roads are fertile ground for planting building-sized billboards and the city didn't want to be forced to accept a bumper crop if a court found its code unconstitutional.

Atlanta attorney E. Adam Webb hasn't filed or threatened to file any lawsuits against Arden Hills, but he has filed more than 100 suits nationwide against communities, including Hopkins and Eden Prairie.



Walkers makes donation for Iguanas

In the wake of recent disheartening reports of the deaths of two of the Cayman Islands' most celebrated Blue Iguanas, locally based legal firm Walkers have stepped in to help the National Trust's Blue Iguana Recovery Programm.

The firm donated CI$20,000 to the programme and has pledged a total of CI$60,000, to be paid over a period of three years. The donation will be used to fund the operating costs of the programme.

"Donations for the purpose of covering staffing and operating costs of the facility are like gold dust," said Mr. Fred Burton, Director of the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme.

Mr. Burton added that he was delighted with the generous contribution from Walkers.

"Organisations tend to be interested in sponsoring a particular project or donating a specific piece of equipment to the recovery programme.
