The figures are in for the first quarter of the new www.sportingbarbados.com site which compliments the annual Sporting Barbados Tourism magazine and there is lots to shout about!

Visitors to the site came from 104 countries including Barbados, the US, UK, Canada and the Caribbean region.

Pageviews are also significantly up with an increase from 1,500 in the same quarter in 2011 to 8,400 in 2012. An increase of 440%

"This is beyond my expectations and it¹s very gratifying to see the figures steadily rising. Sports tourism is massive and between the website and the magazine, we intend to make a real difference"., said Managing Director of Hiltop Publications, Pamela Hiles
