AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoAir Connectivity Shock: Air Antilles has permanently shut down after Guadeloupe’s court ordered liquidation, ending a key link between Martinique, Guadeloupe and nearby islands—its license was revoked after a failed safety audit and the carrier later filed to close for good on May 11, leaving residents and tourists facing fewer flight options. LIAT Expansion: With regional travel under pressure, LIAT is pushing back: it launched nonstop Antigua–Guadeloupe service (twice weekly) and is already in talks with ferry operator L’Express Des Iles to stitch together air-and-sea trips across the Eastern Caribbean. Tourism Demand Signals: A Caribbean travel trends report flags slower overall growth but strong point-to-point connectivity, while social media rankings show Puerto Rico and Jamaica leading official destination channels—suggesting the next growth fight is as much about attention as arrivals. Culture & Skills: From a 55th-anniversary Dominica dance production touring the region (including Guadeloupe) to a spotlight on modern languages as a global opportunity, the week’s theme is clear: people and culture keep opening doors.
