AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoTourism: The OECS says Caribbean economies are missing out on tourism’s full value: too much visitor spending leaves the region, while farmers, fishers, artisans and small businesses remain outside the industry’s supply chain. The call comes as Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism minister takes the chair of the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s ministerial council. Festival Economy: Montserrat Festival returns from Dec. 4 to Jan. 1, with the refurbished Cultural Centre hosting events alongside calypso, steelpan and community celebrations. The programme offers a showcase for local performers and cultural businesses. Regional Resilience: The Global Water Partnership-Caribbean elected six members to an interim steering committee at its Oct. 11 AGM, with renewed focus on connecting water security and climate resilience to agriculture, energy and economic development.
