Analyst Opinion

The Travel & Tourism market in Caribbean has been experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Travelers in the Caribbean region are increasingly seeking unique and authentic experiences, moving away from traditional mass tourism. They are looking for personalized travel itineraries that allow them to immerse themselves in the local culture, cuisine, and natural beauty of the islands.

Trends in the market:
One of the notable trends in the Caribbean Travel & Tourism market is the rise of ecotourism and sustainable travel practices. Travelers are becoming more conscious of their environmental impact and are choosing accommodations and activities that prioritize sustainability. This trend is driving the development of eco-friendly resorts, wildlife conservation initiatives, and responsible tour operators across the region.

Local special circumstances:
The Caribbean region is known for its stunning beaches, vibrant music and dance culture, and rich history. These unique characteristics attract a diverse range of travelers, from honeymooners seeking romantic getaways to adventure enthusiasts looking to explore the region's lush rainforests and crystal-clear waters. The warm hospitality of the local population also plays a significant role in enhancing the overall travel experience in the Caribbean.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the Travel & Tourism market in the Caribbean can be attributed to several macroeconomic factors. The region's improving infrastructure, including new airports, highways, and luxury accommodations, has made it more accessible to international visitors. Additionally, government initiatives to promote tourism, such as investment incentives and marketing campaigns, have helped boost the industry. The stability of the political environment in many Caribbean countries has also contributed to the growth of the Travel & Tourism sector, providing a safe and welcoming destination for travelers from around the world.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of hotels, vacation rentals, cruises, package holidays, and camping.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
