Show Notes

Caribbean Tourism at Sea: Leaders Chart Cruise-Led Recovery follows tourism ministers, port authorities, and cruise industry executives as they convene aboard Icon of the Seas in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. With airports damaged, hotels offline, and island economies under strain, the summit positions cruise tourism as the fastest path to stabilizing visitor arrivals and cash flow. Set against the contrast between a fully operational mega ship and islands still rebuilding, the narrative examines how mobility, capital, and control shape recovery decisions. As discussions deepen, tensions emerge over dependency, revenue leakage, climate risk, and who ultimately directs the region’s economic future when disaster strikes.
