Our visual rule: Photos should help you understand Barbados, not simply fill space. We identify documentary photographs separately from the original illustrated homepage visual.

Why we do not use generic stock photos
A photograph should help answer a travel question: what the water looks like, how one coast differs from another, what a historic area looks like, or why a place may suit a particular trip. We avoid filling pages with unrelated tropical imagery.
