Cash-strapped Caribbean countries have welcomed the pact known as Petrocaribe as a way to counter soaring oil prices. But eight nations say they haven\'t gotten fuel shipments yet, largely because they\'re figuring out how to handle them.The program has gotten bogged down because many governments don\'t have state-owned docking or storage facilities, or the know-how of running an oil business -- a task they previously left to private companies.
While Chavez\'s critics say he is using \"oil diplomacy\" to build anti-U.S. political alliances, many Caribbean leaders say they believe the program will be genuinely helpful and are determined to take advantage of it.
\"We\'re charting uncharted waters here. It has to be done right,\" said Earl Bousquet, a St. Lucia government spokesman.
Travel magazine and MOT host reception in New York
NEW YORK Fears of piracy that fuelled a contractual dispute between the theatre and distributor may have prevented a Bahamian delegation from viewing this summer's anticipated blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, in New York on Wednesday, but they did not put brakes on the 'Bahamian Celebration' hosted by the Ministry of Tourism and the Conde Nast Traveler at the publication's offices that night.The Ministry and Conde Nast, who have been marketing partners for the last 19 years, threw the shindig in light of its new and innovative collaboration to promote The Islands of The Bahamas by capitalising on the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films' fame.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2, recently premiered in California last weekend, was filmed on Grand Bahama and White Cay, Exuma.
Markets shrug off rate rise
Wall Street breathed a sigh of relief and the Dow Jones soared by 217 points after the U.S. Federal Reserve appear-ed to soften its stance on future interest rate hikes.While investors had been expecting the quarter-point increase in short-term lending rates, they were reassured by the central bank's accompanying statement, in which the Fed noted economic growth has moderated but that "some inflation risks remain."
The Fed has tended to focus on inflation in past statements, but said it would look at the economy's growth rate as well as the impact of inflation, in deciding whether to raise rates in the future.
"It's the first time the Fed has connected the weaker growth with the outlook for inflation," said Markus Schomer, economist for AIG's Global Invest-ment Group.

Sands pleased with results
Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations' (BAAA) President Mike Sands, said that while he was pleased with the performances at this year's Junior National Track and Field Championships, he was disappointed by the lack of support from the public."Generally, I'm satisfied by the efforts put forth by these young athletes," he noted, "but there were a few athletes who came out here and performed well beyond expectations. So over the next 24 hours, I will be getting together with the executive members of the BAAA to go over the results of this meet, and by Monday, we would've already decided who's going to be on the Jr. CAC and Jr. World teams," he explained.
Addressing the issue of the lack of fan support, Sands said that the BAAA has to take some of the blame.
Caribbean offers to reimburse passport cost to US travelers
At the recently concluded 2006 Caribbean Hotel Industry Conference organized by the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA), tourism leaders expressed serious concerns over the proposed Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requiring Americans to have their passports ready by January 1, 2007 on traveling back from the Caribbean by air and sea. The issue is not so much the requirement as the effective date itself affecting US vacationers planning trips to the CARICOM. According to a research by the WTTC on behalf of the Caribbean Hotels Association, visitor market share from the United States to the Caribbean and the percentage of those visitors who do not use a valid US passport will decline dramatically. Currently, about 20 percent of Americans do not possess a passport. Based on the WTTC research, total visitor exports earnings in the Caribbean region are estimated at US$20.7 billion.
