Philippe Faure-Brac at Habitation Clément: Martinique rum as seen by a great sommelier.

Philippe Faure-Brac had never visited Habitation Clément before. World’s Best Sommelier 1992, member of the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France with honorary status since 2015, he came to Martinique to look at rhum agricole from its very place of production: the cane, the cellars, the bottling and the tasting. A first visit to Habitation Clément AtHabitation Clément, in Le François, this visit had a special significance. Philippe Faure-Brac was already familiar with Clément rums, their quality positioning and their universe. He had also contributed to the book Rhum Clément, une histoire de famille, bringing his insight into the house’s aromatic precision, balance and tradition of excellence. But he lacked the experience of the place. That of the light, the temperature, the atmosphere of the winery and the exchanges with the teams. “The first time in Martinique?

Boiling Lake: 92 °C, 63 m wide, the 2nd largest bubbling lake in the world

Just 8 kilometers east of Roseau, the capital of Dominica, it’s a three-hour walk from Laudat to Boiling Lake. Three hours of humid forest, desolate valley, soil-heated rocks and sulfurous fumes. At the end of the path, a 63-metre-wide pool. Inside, the water bubbles almost continuously, with temperatures measured up to 91.6°C at the edges. It’s the second largest bubbling lake in the world.

Tourism 3.0: Jamaica wants to keep its tourist wealth

At the Montego Bay Convention Centre, the image speaks for itself. Local entrepreneurs showcase their products, hotel representatives circulate, meetings follow one another. Behind these rapid exchanges, one question weighs heavily: when tourism makes money, how much really stays in Jamaica? This is at the heart of Tourism 3.0, the new direction championed by Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett. At the Tourism Enhancement Fund’s 11th Speed Networking Event, he set out a clear ambition: to make tourism a more direct driver for Jamaican producers, artisans, manufacturers and suppliers. Tourism that no longer just wants to attract Jamaica knows how to welcome visitors. But the challenge is no longer just to fill hotels or increase arrivals.
