AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Tourism & Connectivity: Marriott has reopened Turtle Beach, a Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort in Barbados, adding 165 suites and new dining plus family programming, as the all-inclusive push stays hot. Policy & Research: The CTO will launch an inaugural Caribbean Tourism Research Forum at SOTIC 2026 in Guyana on Oct. 6, aiming to link research with tourism policy and industry decisions. Retail & Cost of Living: Massy Stores reopened its Worthing branch after a BDS$46M redevelopment and expanded its affordability range to 300 essentials, with Prime Minister Mia Mottley backing contract buying to support local farmers. Labour & Wages: CTUSAB supports Barbados’ Protection of Wages Bill but warns it will only work with real enforcement and equal consequences for state and private employers. Fishing Industry Pressure: Fishermen warn mandatory insurance could price out small boat owners, while others flag limited ice capacity and rising costs (ice, bait, diesel, insurance). Housing Supply: Government moves to acquire about 2.21 acres of church land in Ebenezer, St Philip, to support a higher-density housing push. Regional Self-Reliance: UWI’s Justin Robinson and Barbados PM Mia Mottley both stress the need for Caribbean self-reliance and regional cooperation as global shocks bite.
