AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoCaribbean Cruise & Ports: MSC Cruises is reshuffling its winter 2027/28 plans, pulling MSC World Europa away from the Middle East and redeploying MSC World Asia to the South Caribbean, with embarkation including Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) plus Fort-de-France and Bridgetown, and stops across the Eastern Caribbean. Tourism Demand Signal: Corendon is also adding a new Caribbean option: a 14-day “Renaissance” cruise starting December 3, 2026 from Aruba and ending in Curaçao, with passengers able to board during the ship’s Aruba call—an extra boost for regional travel and local business. Aviation Funding Pressure: French regional airports face survival risks as stricter EU rules on public funding tighten from April 2027, potentially limiting investment and operating aid for smaller airports. Renewables Policy Watch: A Caribbean energy report flags solar project setbacks (citing Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago) as a planning and stakeholder-alignment problem, using electricity affordability data to argue for faster, better-aligned renewable rollout. Culture & Spotlight: Guadeloupe’s Annaëlle Ibo placed at Miss World after a viral Chilean death-metal performance, keeping the island’s talent visible on an international stage.
