Resilience in Paradise

Global leisure travel patterns are undergoing a notable realignment as economic and political headwinds emanating from the United States redirect international tourists toward more accessible and stable destinations. The Caribbean, in particular, has emerged as a prime beneficiary of this shift. Factors such as U.S. trade tariffs, policy uncertainty, and geopolitical tensions have dampened the appeal of U.S. travel for many overseas visitors, resulting in a “travel diversion” effect in which sun-seeking travelers opt for Caribbean getaways over U.S. holidays. At the same time, the Caribbean region’s robust tourism recovery and relative political stability have positioned its islands as attractive havens for both vacationers and investors.
