Caribbean tourism experiences strong growth in 2023, recovery to continue into 2024

Caribbean tourism experiences strong growth in 2023, recovery to continue into 2024 Continuing its positive recovery trend, Caribbean tourism grew in 2023 with an estimated 14.3% increase in international stay-over arrivals to the region, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) has reported. Delivering the “Caribbean Tourism Performance Review 2023” in Bridgetown, Dona Regis-Prosper, Secretary-General of the CTO, shared that last year’s growth was in line with CTO’s forecast for the year, and attributed the outcome to sustained demand for outbound travel from the United States – the Caribbean’s main source market, enhanced tourism-related infrastructure within the destinations, the fulfillment of strategic marketing initiatives, and augmented airlift capacity between the region and its source markets, albeit unevenly distributed among the destinations. “Based on preliminary data provided so far by the destinations in the Caribbean, tourist visits were approximately 32.2 million – about four million more than in 2022,” stated Regis-Prosper, who noted that [...]

Cruises are still calling into port in Haiti. Here’s why Don Mennig/Alamy Stock Photo/FILE Some 130 miles north of Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince, which has been gripped by a wave of gang attacks, a private cruise port is receiving guests at a resort with its own security and controlled access. Royal Caribbean ships are still calling into Labadee — the cruise company’s day-use property located on a peninsula more than six hours drive from Port-au-Prince. The company is monitoring the situation throughout the area, according to a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean. A US Department of State’s Level 4 travel advisory (“do not travel,” the highest warning level) for the Caribbean nation of Haiti was most recently updated on July 27, 2023, citing “kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure,” among the reasons the US State Department has advised against travel to Haiti for some time. Haiti shares [...]

Embracing Change in Caribbean Tourism Development

Embracing change in Caribbean Tourism Development Caribbean tourism, with its potential to be a pervasive cornerstone for sustainable socioeconomic development, has undergone significant changes over the past six decades. Initially catering to leisure seekers drawn to the region’s “sun, sand, and sea,” the industry has evolved considerably.

A Secret Garden to discover before the cruise ships do

A Secret Garden to discover before the cruise ships do Dominica, a remote Caribbean island, enchants with its waterfalls, hot springs and hummingbirds. But a new airport and more tourists could tame its wildness. The hiking trail to Middleham Falls on the Caribbean island of Dominica is all wet leaves, slippery black stones and steps formed by tree roots. It could be a path in Middle-earth, shrouded, shadowy and green, fit for hobbits and fairies. Where sunlight pierced the canopy, rainbows formed in the mist, almost close enough to poke. Here and there, hummingbirds drew nectar from huge blossoms. The goal on that January day: a 200-foot forest cascade filling and refilling little pools on the valley floor, where I could — as one does in the secret hot pools and isolated waterfalls of Dominica — shed my clothes, slip into water and commune with the hummingbirds like a fairy queen.
