Air Travel Boost: American Airlines says this summer will be its biggest ever—75 million passengers across 750,000 flights—aiming to win back Caribbean travellers with a reliability-first schedule. Wealth & Finance: Nevis Premier Mark Brantley used STEP CC2026 to argue for resilient private-wealth structures amid a volatile global economy. Cannabis Politics: Nubian Greaux criticized how the current administration is handling the cannabis transition, saying progress is too slow on licensing, exports, and banking access. Tourism Demand Signals: At Antigua’s Caribbean Travel Marketplace, optimism dominated as Saint Lucia highlighted events and sports tourism; meanwhile, Curaçao is being flagged as a model for stable year-round arrivals, with Millennials and Gen X driving longer stays. Local Cost Pressure: Saint Lucia’s fuel-price adjustment for May 11–May 31 keeps gasoline/diesel/kerosene unchanged but raises the 100-lb LPG cylinder, while subsidies cushion the impact. Regional Connectivity: LIAT Air says it’s already in talks with ferry operator L’Express des Iles to link air and sea travel across the Eastern Caribbean.
