Leaders should launch seamless multi-island visas and joint itineraries (linking destinations like Jamaica, Barbados, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia) to capture Asian and European markets, while shifting infrastructure investments from volatile luxury cruises into recession-resilient eco, medical, and sports tourism. CARICOM currently imports $8.5 billion in food annually, leaving the region dangerously exposed to imported inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, and volatile shipping costs. To insulate local populations, the region must strictly enforce its mandate to slash food imports by 25%.This requires immediately funding and scaling large-scale agricultural and livestock production in resource-rich member states like Guyana, Suriname, and Belize.
