AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Tourism Deal for Barbados: CHTA has named Barbados host for Caribbean Travel Marketplace (CTM) 2027, set for May 18–21, 2027, after a successful 2026 event—bringing global buyers and regional suppliers together for pre-scheduled business meetings and more tourism investment. Regional Travel Shock: The newly elected CHTA president, Dominica hotelier Gregor Nassief, was denied a US visa renewal, raising fears of wider fallout for Caribbean tourism representation and operations. Payments Oversight: The DLP says Barbados must add transparency and strong personal-data safeguards as BiMPay launches as a national instant payments platform. Elder Abuse Push: BARP warns of a “silent crisis” of elder abuse, especially financial exploitation of isolated seniors, calling for enforcement beyond new laws. Health Regulation Reform: Barbados’ Medical Products Bill would create a modern autonomous authority to regulate medicines and health products, aiming to improve access and support local life sciences. Construction Jobs Tension: BWU and CTUSAB are pressing for evidence and fair process as C.O. Williams Construction signals possible layoffs. Manufacturing Innovation: Harris Paints unveiled its Quantum Dry dry tinting system in Barbados, positioning the Caribbean-developed tech for wider export. Energy Cost Context: A data roundup highlights how electricity prices vary wildly worldwide, with fuel-importing island nations and Europe often at the top of the cost list. Public Health Training: CARPHA trained 18 people across 15 member states on safe transport of infectious substances via an IATA workshop to strengthen regional lab readiness.
