Barbados has officially extended its “Say Hello to Barbados” summer campaign, offering travelers a range of incentives for travel this fall. Visitors can now book eligible trips through June 30 for stays between September 1 and October 30, 2025.

At the center of the campaign is a stay-seven-nights, pay-for-five offer available at participating hotels and resorts across the island. Additional promotions include discounts on island experiences, dining, car rentals, and family perks.

Among the highlights: a second ticket at 50% off on select attractions and activities; complimentary rental car days with select bookings; prix-fixe menus at participating restaurants; kids’ menu discounts at select hotels and dining establishments

The campaign coincides with Barbados’ full cultural calendar during the late summer and early fall period.

Key events include the Caribbean Premier League cricket tournament, and the Barbados Marathon & Wellness Weekend, among others.

“Barbados isn’t just a destination, it’s a feeling,” said Andrea Franklin, CEO of the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc, in a statement provided to Caribbean Journal “With this extended campaign, we’re giving travellers more time to discover the beauty and rhythm of our island. From culinary indulgences to vibrant festivals, Barbados offers an experience that goes beyond the beach.”

Franklin added that the campaign aims to showcase the island’s diverse appeal — spanning culture, cuisine, wellness, and family travel.
