The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) says Caribbean tourism is open for business and reaffirmed the region’s resilience and operational stability.
CTO and its 25 member destinations have been closely monitoring geopolitical developments in Venezuela and addressing disruptions experienced by travellers due to the temporary closure of airspace this past weekend.
The Caribbean has extensive experience managing external disruptions and has consistently demonstrated the resilience of its tourism industry. CTO expressed gratitude to its airline partners for adding capacity to ensure travelers were able to continue with their plans, and to the accommodations sector for its flexibility in supporting affected guests, while safeguarding the region’s vital economic engine.
Cruise and air travel within the Caribbean remain operational, and advance bookings continue to be strong. CTO encourages travelers to proceed with their plans and assures partners and visitors that the Caribbean remains open for business and ready to welcome travelers.
CTO’s 2026 theme, ‘One Caribbean: Infinite Experiences’, invites travellers and partners to discover a unified region of boundless diversity. While CTO features world-class resorts, boutique hotels and breathtaking eco-adventures, it says its heart remains the region’s legendary hospitality – the warmth of the Caribbean people that ensures every guest feels at home. From pristine beaches to vibrant heritage festivals and world-class cuisine, the region offers a seamless journey to explore, discover and connect within a safe and welcoming environment.
