Together, these markets are helping Caribbean destinations broaden their seasonal calendars and capture incremental revenue beyond traditional peak windows.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caribbean culture is driving longer, more meaningful visits.<\/strong>&nbsp;Analysis of CARIFESTA XV 2025 in Barbados shows arrivals climbed 23 percent during the festival period compared with the previous year, with intra-Caribbean travel accounting for 23.3 percent of arrivals, up 3.3 percentage points year over year.

Latin American demand is rising fast, premium travelers are choosing the Caribbean in record numbers, and our cultural calendar is proving it can extend stays and drive economic impact across borders. The insights we unveiled with Amadeus at Caribbean Travel Forum give our members the intelligence to compete confidently, capture year-round demand, and translate the Caribbean\u2019s unmatched appeal into lasting prosperity for our communities.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sol Freixa, Vice President, Commercial, Destinations at Amadeus, added: \u201cIn a more competitive and choice-rich travel environment, understanding demand is only the first step. The real opportunity for Caribbean destinations lies in using these insights to actively shape traveler perception and capture demand at the moments that matter most. By aligning insight-led targeting with clear destination positioning, destinations can position themselves more clearly, reach the travelers earlier in their planning journey, and convert intent into meaningful growth.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data included in the 2026 Caribbean Travel Trends Report was extracted from Amadeus Data Connect, Amadeus Destination Gateway, and other Amadeus Travel Intelligence solutions. Amadeus Destination Gateway delivers comprehensive historical and forward-looking air travel data through an intuitive dashboard, empowering destinations to monitor performance by origin market, season, and route.
