Introducing Island Heritage-scape



The majestic Pitons in St. Lucia is listed as a World Heritage Site

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are the envy of the pack in the heritage industry. These islands are home to diverse, distinctive and unforgettable heritage experiences that cannot be had elsewhere. As this blog develops you’ll see exactly what I mean!

Cultural heritage in SIDS cannot be cast in  a box. The creative genius of different groups of people has been and continues to be limitless. Feel free to add your voice to this debate on the infinite nature of heritage in SIDS; and the extent to which these countries are taking advantage of their unique position in global heritage.

Each small economy is unique, and some more than others are managing to stake their claim in the global market. But staying true to the Jamaican parlance, ‘wi likkle but wi tallawah’ Island Heritage-scape encourages debate and action to transform these islands into cultural giants in world heritage.
