Barbados is home to some of the best duty free shopping in the Caribbean. Many luxury brands have retail outlets here that offer prices that are very competitive to major cities around the world. To take full advantage of this all you have to do is walk with your passport and departure card. Stores will show items with a local price (LP) and a duty free price (DF) for tourist which is significantly cheaper. Here is our list of places you need to see to get great buys while on your holiday.
