How the Campaign Works

Travellers must book their holiday to Barbados, through their preferred booking mechanism and be staying at one of our approved accommodation partners. Once a booking to Barbados has been made, travellers should visit www.bookbarbados.com/worldofdifference to register for the program, providing the required details for redemption in Barbados. Each approved traveller will receive BBD$200 in a digital wallet format, to be spent exclusively within Barbados. Travellers then redeem their cashback through Book Barbados with these easy steps:

  • Once your booking is verified, it’s time to start spending! 
  • Simply go to the BookBarbados Trip Planner to access your wallet. You will be able to view offers for all participating partners.
  • See something you’re interested in? Claim the cashback offer and it will be shown in your wallet.
  • IMPORTANT!! Download the BookBarbados Trip Planner App to your phone to ensure that your wallet is always in your pocket. You will need this to redeem your voucher with each partner.
