Caribbean tourism record 2019

Caribbean 2020 opens with remarkable confidence — Guyana’s historic first oil celebrated, a record-breaking 2019 tourism year reviewed, housing markets holding firm, and Trinidad’s Carnival season building toward its February crescendo.

Guyana achieves its historic first oil on December 20, 2019 — a watershed moment for the Caribbean. We review a record-breaking 2019 tourism year and look to an optimistic 2020 with exceptional confidence across regional property markets.

The Caribbean holiday season opens with exceptional momentum — Guyana’s historic first oil is imminent with ExxonMobil’s Liza Phase 1 expected to flow any day now, a record 2019 tourism year is closing strongly, and resort property markets are performing at peak levels.

Caribbean summer 2019 tourism delivered strong results across the region — then, in the final days of our coverage period, Hurricane Dorian struck the Bahamas as a catastrophic Category 5 storm with 185 mph sustained winds. We report on the summer’s performance and this breaking disaster.

Caribbean tourism reaches its summer peak while the Dominican Republic demonstrates resilient recovery, and ExxonMobil advances Guyana’s Liza Phase 1 toward the historic first oil milestone.

Caribbean tourism is delivering its strongest summer in years, the Dominican Republic is stabilising after May-June’s hotel safety crisis, Guyana’s oil milestone draws closer, and the region’s investment pipeline strengthens as the 2019 hurricane season watches carefully.

Spring 2019 brings record Caribbean tourism arrivals, strengthening investment sentiment across the region, and mounting excitement over Guyana’s approaching oil era.
