AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 minutes ago

Franchise Push: The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill has signed a master franchise deal with the Beharry Group to open across Guyana and seven Caribbean markets, including Barbados—another sign the region is getting more “fast casual” competition. Tourism Pressure Point: Caribbean hotels are pushing back against a Booking.com commission change that would apply to VAT/GST too, warning it could quietly raise their real costs. Barbados Aviation & Jobs: Barbados is adding three more aircraft parking positions at GAIA to ease congestion as airlift grows, while PM Mia Mottley is also urging a digital platform to track gig workers’ hours for portable benefits. Food & Farming: Barbados’ poultry sector is backing small-farmer recruitment after a major processor moved to contract farming, aiming to strengthen local supply. Regional Context: Grenada is leaning on sports tourism with a Masters cricket event, and Antigua and Barbuda just hosted CTM 2026 as tourism trade momentum continues.
