Socio-culture is both cultural and social factors.
I agree that socio-cultural events and activities impacts on
tourism and increased tourists attraction to the Caribbean. There are several socio-cultural events and activities that are done in the Caribbean to attract tourists. Two cultural events that attract tourists to the Caribbean, for example in Jamaica, are carnival and independence celebration.

These activities are practiced by the Caribbean people and tourists enjoy the fun, food, socialization, dance unique to the Caribbean and traditional dances.
