Caribbean Tourism Report Q4 2014 - New Report Available

New Consumer Goods market report from Business Monitor International: "Caribbean Tourism Report Q4 2014"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2014 -- The Caribbean region is returning to sustained growth, with all countries expecting tourist arrivals to increase in 2014 and 2015 . However, this is expected to remain below pre-2007 trend growth, with regional arrivals now averaging about 3.0% annual growth. Nonetheless, we expect that improving growth prospects will encourage greater investment in the region, particularly in the hotel sector.

Our tourism report for the Caribbean considers the impact of ongoing global economic uncertainty on the Caribbean tourism industry and how the region's fiscal issues are affecting its tourism arrivals. Following the decline of the financial services industry after the economic downturn hit in 2007, tourism has increased in importance to Caribbean economies. Although Cuba and Trinidad & Tobago have more diversified economies, the majority of the Caribbean islands are now primarily dependent on tourism as their major source of revenue.

The latest data from the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) in July 2014 bears out our positive prognosis for growth across all countries in 2014. Indeed, the CTO is reporting higher growth in Antigua, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Grenada and Haiti for the first half of the year. However, we note that the Caribbean low season begins in June, when hurricane season starts, lasting until October/November. Arrivals are therefore set to be lower in these months, picking up again towards the end of the year.
