The Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) Secretary General, Hugh Riley, presented the State of the Industry Report 2014 at a news conference at the CTO HQ in Barbados on Tuesday 10 February. There, he declared:
“With a strong year for air travel, a positive performance by the accommodation sector, solid growth in cruise visits and faster-than-expected rise in stay-over arrivals, the Caribbean Tourism Organization is pleased to report that the state of Caribbean tourism is sound.
In a clear demonstration of strong demand for travel, and for Caribbean vacations in particular, a record 26.3 million visitors came to enjoy the Caribbean’s un-equaled and diverse experiences in 2014, spending a record 29.2 billion US dollars.”
