The Caribbean eventually began also to include visiting local restaurants, attending cooking classes and festivals to their agenda to improve their tourism. The authors gain credibility to discuss this topic because of the research they have done.

Firstly, as a corporation, NBB believes that the synchronization of what a “brand says,” and what a “company does” is the stepping-stone in achieving social responsibility (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell, pp.436).
