When Christopher Columbus was on his fourth and final voyage to the West Indies in 1503, he spotted two small islands filled with turtles that he named Las Tortugas (Spanish for turtles). Today, these islands are known as Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, and make up two-thirds of the Cayman Islands (Grand Cayman being the largest and most populous of the three). Having gone through 500 years of history, the destination is setting itself up for more change. At the Cayman Islands Tourism Exchange in May, key tourism players discussed plans for the future, including a new way of thinking about the role of tourism as well as new properties and attractions.
