  • Le tourisme dans les Caraïbes est l'un des principaux secteurs économiques des Caraïbes, avec 25 millions de visiteurs contribuant à hauteur de 49 milliards de dollars au produit intérieur brut de la région en 2013, représentant 14 % du PIB total. Le premier hôtel est construit à Niévès en 1778 et attire des visiteurs fortunés, comme Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Au XIXe siècle, des hôtels sont également construits aux Bahamas, en Jamaïque et à la Barbade pour soutenir un commerce touristique croissant. Le tourisme connait une croissance spectaculaire lorsque des avions transportent des touristes dans la région. Le nombre de personnes qui peuvent se permettre de passer des vacances dans les îles augmente, mais les infrastructures nécessitent un développement coûteux. (fr)

It is often described as, "the most tourism-dependent region in the world". The first hotel was built on the island of Nevis in 1778 and brought wealthy visitors, such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In the 19th century, resort hotels were also built on The Bahamas, Jamaica and Barbados to support an increasing tourist trade. Tourism increased dramatically when airplanes transported tourists to the region. This increased the numbers of people that were able to afford to vacation on the islands, but required costly infrastructure development. (en)
