AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoGeothermal Energy in Guadeloupe: Albioma has been granted an exclusive five-year geothermal exploration permit for the Sud-Soufrière site, covering parts of Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Gourbeyre, Saint-Claude, Trois-Rivières and Vieux-Fort (62 km²). The permit follows a 2021 tender and a multi-stage plan (data review, surface surveys, modeling, then exploration drilling). Environment & Permitting: drilling rights are not automatic—Albioma must seek separate authorization from the Guadeloupe prefecture, after public consultations held from 2022 to 2025. Caribbean Climate Watch: the late wet season may bring intense heat, uneven hurricane activity and heavier flood risk, with climatologists pointing to El Niño strengthening plus global warming. Rum Industry: the Caribbean Rum Awards in St Barth positions itself as the region’s only Caribbean-wide blind-tasting competition, bringing top regional rums together for a champion. Hospitality Trends: Hyatt says it’s doubled down on all-inclusives, citing strong repeat demand across Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. Spirits Business: Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits reports a France rebound in Q2 and a 6% like-for-like rise in French sales, supported by retail recovery and new brand deals, while international markets remain softer.
