AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoTourism Stability Watch: Curaçao is drawing fresh attention as one of the Caribbean’s most steady tourism markets, with new 2026 travel trend reporting showing it’s less tied to winter peaks than most neighbors. Market Context: The wider region is cooling after a fast post-pandemic rebound—overall overseas travel to the Caribbean rose just 1% between April 2025 and March 2026, far below earlier surges. What’s Driving the Difference: Curaçao’s “Seasonality Index” score of 21 is the lowest across the Caribbean, beating Aruba (24), Guyana (25), Saint Lucia (29), and Trinidad and Tobago (43), while Barbados stands out for its heavy winter dependence (score 228). Local Angle for Saint Barthélemy: If the trend holds, islands that diversify demand beyond peak seasons may feel less pressure when regional travel growth slows.
