The Know Your Cayman Islands book was designed by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism to highlight basic facts about Cayman roots and culture for tourism service professionals. We hope that reading this book will inspire you to unearth the treasures of times past, and encourage you to experience the present wonders of the Cayman Islands, bettering the lives of those around you as you take PRIDE in Cayman—whether it be in your home, work or community. We look forward to a culturally and socially enriched Cayman as each of you build upon your growing knowledge of the Cayman Islands.
