Tourism Signals: A Caribbean travel trends report flags slower regional growth and uneven access—some markets rely heavily on hub-based connections—while social media rankings show Puerto Rico and Jamaica leading official destination channels. Culture & Attention: Guadeloupe’s wider region also got a visibility boost from IShowSpeed’s Expedia-backed Caribbean livestream tour, which generated tens of millions of views, with Guadeloupe among the top destinations.
