Barbados have made a press presentation at SOTIC
Billy Griffith, CEO Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc, reviewed the news of the destination a day before the show starts
During yesterday morning, Billy Griffith, CEO of Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc., held a press presentation that was part of the day before the start of SOTIC 2018, an event organized by CTO.
One of the most interesting data that the manager highlighted, arrivals increased 3%, reaching 465,000 and visitors spent $ 400 million in the first quarter of 2018, 15% more than last year.
Another important aspect is that visitors from the United States have grown 44% in the last 5 years. And to continue growing in that market, American Airlines added a third flight from Miami and a daily flight from Charlotte, both since December 19.
Additionally, all eyes are on the growth of Latin America, as the most recent Barbados association with Copa Airlines has introduced a service twice a week between Barbados and Panama.
