ANGUILLA
Economy
Anguilla has few natural resources, and the economy
depends heavily on luxury tourism, offshore banking, lobster fishing, and
remittances from emigrants. Increased activity in the tourism industry, which
has spurred the growth of the construction sector, has contributed to economic
growth. Anguillan officials have put substantial effort into developing the
offshore financial sector, which is small, but growing. In the medium term,
prospects for the economy will depend largely on the tourism sector and,
therefore, on revived income growth in the industrialized nations as well as on
favorable weather conditions.
Before the Europeans came to this island, the Arawak Indians had called it arrowshaped - Malliouhana. They had dwelled on Anguilla since AD 600 ,as was deduced by an archaeologist who found a vase that dated back to the said date. The Indians had constructed a ceremonial worshipping site to be used by Arawaks from the north eastern Caribbean inside of an underground cave, located at Shoal Bay. The Arawaks were brown, tall people with long, straight, black hair. They grew cotton from which they made cotton clothing to cover their bodies and to make hammocks. Besides cassava, they ate different varieties of reef fish; conchs, shellfish, whelks. Corn and sweet potato were also cultivated. Their jewelry was crafted from seeds, bones, seashells, and conch shells. |
