Saint Vincent and Grenadines

Population, relief, tourism, agriculture and industries of the islands of Saint Vincent and Grenadines:

This country is based upon the mother island of Saint Vincent which occupies 90% of the total land area of the state and here are living more than 95% of its population. The relief is volcanic and another peak called Soufriere is found here, which is an active volcano and because of the volcanic activity here were numerous damages made in the last century. Starting from the center of the island to the coast, the elevation descends and the tourists can find on the coast black sandy beaches. The tourism is very important in the country because many rich tourists choose the islands of Saint Vincent and Grenadines as a favorite holiday destination. (Find more journeys on blog.worldlifetimejourneys.com) The locals work in agriculture and cultivate mainly banana, but the textile and alimentary industries or the production of cement and rum are very important. Unfortunately the poverty, the hurricanes and the tropical storms often tried these islands. The country’s islands were chosen to shoot the last movie from the series of The Pirates of the Caribbean.
