AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoSustainable STR Push: CHTA just released a Comprehensive Short-Term Rental Framework aimed at helping Caribbean destinations ride surging demand while keeping competition fair, protecting visitors, and safeguarding communities. The plan was built with input from 14 national hotel and tourism associations, positioning STRs as “balanced growth” rather than a retreat from the market. Digital Tourism Race: Puerto Rico and Jamaica are leading the Caribbean’s official destination social media push, but the wider takeaway is that the next growth story may hinge on creators and cultural voices—not just tourism board posts. Blue Economy Funding: OECS has opened a second call for Blue Economy entrepreneurs to access grant money, with Window 2 targeting value chain groups in fisheries, marine tourism, and waste management. Food Security in Focus: EU-funded “Cultivating Futures” is rolling out across OECS countries, using ecological school gardens to strengthen school feeding and climate-smart learning. Local Culture & Infrastructure: Lu City is urging more music funding and dedicated creative spaces after their Jazz Festival performance.
