			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suriname is a wonderful country and exotic holiday destination, located in northern South America. Suriname was a former colony divided between the Dutch and the British and it gained independence from the Netherlands in 1975. Suriname is also the smallest sovereign state in South America, filled with beautiful rain forests and landscapes.</p>
<p>Suriname gained strong economic democracy after the turbulent period of the 1990s. Economy became more diversified and less dependent on Dutch financial assistance. Bauxite mining continues to be a strong revenue source, but the discovery and exploitation of oil and gold has added substantially to the economic independence of Suriname.</p>
<p>The main industry in Suriname is agriculture, especially of rice and bananas. Thus, agriculture remains a strong component of the economy. Another department that brings revenue to Suriname is ecotourism. More than 80% of the land of Suriname consists of unspoiled rain forest, and with the establishment of the Central Suriname Nature Reserve, Suriname signalled its commitment to conservation of this precious resource.</p>
<p>Suriname is a great holiday destination that provides a unique experience. Most tourists visit Suriname for the outstanding biodiversity of the pristine Amazonian rain forests in the south of the country, which are noted for their flora and fauna. Additionally, the Central Suriname Nature Reserve is the biggest and one of the most popular reserves, along with the Brownsberg Nature Park, which overlooks the Brokopondo Reservoir, the latter being one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.</p>
<p>Suriname is also home to many waterfalls. Raleighvalley is a nature reserve on the Coppename River, rich in bird life. Further north from Coppename River, there are many Maroon and Amerindian villages many of which have their own reserves, generally open to the visitors. Suriname is one of the few countries in the world where at least one of each biome has been declared a wildlife reserve. Suriname is a great country that must not missed and that will provide an unforgettable tourist experience, with many natural attractions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former colony of the French and British Empires, Suriname is a small country located in the northern part of the South American continent, which gained its independence on November 25, 1975. Originally, Suriname was part of a group of Dutch colonies, but was eventually passed on to the British Empire. In the early years of British and Dutch domination, Suriname was heavily relying on coffee, cocoa and sugar cane plantations along the rivers. It was a well known fact that the slaves from Suriname were treated horribly. With the help of the Native South Americans, the runaway Suriname slaves managed to establish a new and unique culture, which ended up being very successful.</p>
<p>After slavery had been abolished in 1863, there was a period of 10 years during which the Suriname people were required to continue working on plantations for a minimal pay, without state sanctioned torture. In the 20th century, people from Suriname started migrating towards the Netherlands, thinking that life might be easier than in their country. Although Suriname had a troublesome history, nowadays it is one of the most beautiful countries in South America, a real paradise with wonderful surroundings, lush rainforests, the perfect destination for holidays and research trips. One of the most interesting facts about Suriname is that is part of the UNESCO Natural Heritage reserve.</p>
<p>Some of the most beautiful landmarks you can find in Suriname are the Jules Wijdenbosch Bridge, built with the purpose of facilitating and promoting the development of the eastern part of Suriname. The bridge has two lanes and is not open for pedestrians. Another beautiful landmark is the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul. It is almost 115 years old and it was initially built as a theatre, but eventually burned down. Perhaps one of the most peculiar things you can see in Suriname is the fact that the synagogue and the mosque are next to each other, and have been known to share a parking facility during their religious rites. Suriname is a wonderful place to visit and it will certainly provide one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holidays you have ever had, so take advantage of the beauty and uniqueness of Suriname.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suriname is a small country in South America that has the least land area of any other country on the continent. With a population of only about 470,000 people – only slightly more than that of Omaha, Nebraska – it is also one of the most sparsely populated countries in South America with most of its residents living on the northern side, close to the Atlantic Ocean. With its northern border being an ocean and its southern being the largest country in South America, it is shocking to find that Suriname is also a divider between French Guiana in the east and Guyana in the west.</p>
<p>Suriname is a country dominated by deep rain forests, there is a surprisingly healthy economy that relies mainly on the mining and exportation of metals. The number one export is Bauxite (Aluminum ore/Alumina) which is 70% of all the exports of the country. Suriname also export gold and iron, as well as maintain strong industries in fish, lumber, oil and produce. However, this Dutch speaking country is also growing its tourism trade through a higher demand for eco-friendly activities and exploration of the interior forests.</p>
<p>The people in Suriname are an extremely diverse group. There are many different cultures that play a large role in how the country is run, as well as providing a broad range of cultural adaptations into the lives of the people.
