Last update: 9 hours agoLuxury Travel Push: Anguilla’s Tourist Board used Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas to deepen ties with luxury advisors, touting new Virtuoso data ranking Anguilla No. 1 in the Caribbean for festive travel and No. 3 worldwide—aimed at turning high-end interest into high-value bookings. Luxury Travel Outlook: Virtuoso’s broader 2027 forecast points to continued luxury growth (nearing 21% year-end), with demand driven by ultra-wealthy expansion and a shift toward more transformative experiences, including cruising and “fall is the new summer.” Tourism & Media: Love Link Caribbean held its premiere in Antigua and Barbuda, spotlighting romance and local culture as a fresh regional entertainment platform that also markets the islands to wider audiences. Island Travel Logistics: Island Bookings BV launched an affiliate program to let bloggers, content sites, and travel agencies sell island ferry and island-hopping bookings through a seven-region portfolio, formalizing partnerships that had been informal. Trade Tensions: Canada announced more than 700 retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods starting Sept. 8, targeting sectors like steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, and electronics. Weather Watch: Tropical Storm Dolly formed in the Atlantic and could affect Caribbean travel plans as September typically brings higher activity.
