Most tourists are from the US and the UK, with significant numbers from Canada. I know there have also been quite a few visitors from Germany. (I've met even met a couple of people from Germany who decided to stay)
There's a little bit about the US and UK ties on the barbados.org website as well. :)

I would say UK, US & Canada. There are a lot from within the Caribbean as well. Most places accept US dollars as well as the Pound, so that should be a sign as to who frequents the island a lot.
