Caribbean tourism brought in $42.5 billion for the region in 2023, which is 12.5% of Caribbean GDP, and hotel occupancy told a sharper story than you might expect. While some islands like Turks and Caicos and Aruba push into the mid to high 80s, others sit closer to the mid 60s as all inclusive demand, cruise recovery, and capacity shape what travelers actually experience. We pulled the latest occupancy, room counts, visitor totals, and spending across every major destination to show where demand is strongest and where it is still rebuilding.

Visitor Statistics Interpretation

The Caribbean’s 2023 tourism map shows a region in full bloom, with the Dominican Republic leading a record-breaking parade of sun-seekers, culture cravers, and cruise ship conga lines, proving that while some islands chase luxury and others adventure, they all collectively agree that the best way to recover from a pandemic is with a steady drip of sunscreen and foreign currency.

How We Rate Confidence

Models

Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
