Located in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean, Barbados is the only English-speaking country in the Caribbean, with Bridgetown as its capital. The population is about 280,000, the official language is English and the currency is the Barbados dollar. The economy is based on tourism, financial services and manufacturing, and is known as the "Pearl of the Caribbean", with tourism as its mainstay, attracting tourists from all over the world to its white sandy beaches and blue waters. The culture is a blend of African and European elements, with unique traditional music and dance, and a long history of rum brewing, which is a signature industry of the region. Barbados becomes a republic in 2021, bidding farewell to its status as a Commonwealth kingdom, but still maintains close ties with countries such as the UK. Historic buildings such as St. John's Church and the Bridgetown Historic District are listed as World Heritage Sites, demonstrating the mix of cultures that existed during the colonial and post-independence periods.
