What is Barbados Cares?

Barbados is a small island with a big heart.
Barbados Cares was launched in October 2019 following the collapse of Thomas Cook, to offer £100 in-resort credit and attraction discounts to visitors who were due to travel to Barbados with the airline and had re-booked through other channels.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Barbados Cares has been adapted to become a platform offering incentives, competitions and other such campaigns in times of need, where required, with this website acting as the hub for any future campaigns during challenging times.
