Barbados is trending towards another strong tourism performance in 2026, following on the heels of last year’s record-breaking 727 310 longstay and 817 950 cruise visitor arrivals.
Chief executive officer of Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc (BTMI) Andrea Franklin said the island has already recorded around 214 000 visitors for the first quarter of the year.
“Across all of our markets we are seeing the resilience and the strong performance,” she said, while reporting on Barbados’ tourism performance and plans to travel trade media from around the world at the justended Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s Travel Marketplace in Antigua.
