This tiny coral island in the Caribbean is famous for its miles and miles of white sand beaches and cool clear emerald sea. It has some of the most elegant hotels along with quaint seaside inns and rustic windswept hideaways.

It is also the home of the famous chattel house villages. These are tidy tiny homes that are in perfect proportion to the grand house of their time. The tiny homes were build on land not owned by the inhabitants and made so that they could easily be moved if needed. That’s why they are called chattel houses. Those days have passed but the tiny houses are a symbol of the past and much loved by locals and tourism alike.

These were some of the stunning photographs of some of the popular places and photographers which Bigtime Daily found out. If you have not visited these places yet, you should definitely plan for them now.

Instagram and tourism

As you can see in this BigTime Daily roundup, Instagram is a perfect match for tourism. Travel brands from hotels to destinations are finding Instagram travel accounts that match their ideology and working with them. Tourism marketers are building their own Instagram profile to engage travelers with instant photos and videos of travel lifestyle vacations.

Today almost every traveler is a smartphone photographer. They capture every aspect of tourism with real encounters and authentic images. They are the new ambassadors of travel using Instagram to spread the word and share the moment. By their efforts, Instagram has become a defacto brochure of destinations.
