When staying in 5 star Caribbean hotels, take the opportunity to visit the Caribbean coral reef. The vanishing reef area contains just under 10% of the world's coral, and is at the centre of many conservation efforts. The reef covers approximately 20,000 square miles, but is particularly susceptible to environmental damage, and the periodical destruction wrought by hurricanes in the area. The reef makes a fantastic excursion while enjoying a holiday luxuriating at 5 star Caribbean hotels, allowing visitors to get a better understanding of the problems affecting the area. Environmentally speaking, the carbon dioxide that is released by humankind is not only a pollutant in the air - as gases dissolve in the sea, the water grows more acidic. This, combined with a gradual rise in the temperature of the Caribbean Sea, has had serious repercussions for the reef.
Preserving the reef
Visitors to 5 star Caribbean hotels in the region can play a vital role in helping to conserve the world's second largest barrier reef. Holidaymakers can travel to the reef on dive excursions, allowing them to explore the wonders below the water, and the revenue that tourism brings has become extremely important in helping to preserve the area.
