How Anguilla Tourism Is Faring

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 24, 2016

Anguilla reported a total of 73,232 tourist arrivals in 2015, according to the latest numbers from the Caribbean Tourism Organization.

That represented a 3.3 percent increase compared to the year before, buoyed by a 4.4 percent improvement during last year’s peak tourist season.

Arrivals slowed slightly in the summer season, though, with a 2.5 percent year-over-year improvement.

The destination saw a 4 percent jump in US arrivals, but a precipitous 8.3 percent reduction in tourism arrivals from Canada.
