Fitch: Cayman tourism to outpace regional peers through 2029
The Cayman Islands is set to outperform many of its Caribbean peers over the next five years, with BMI, a Fitch Solutions company, forecasting steady stayover tourism growth through 2029.
According to BMI’s ‘Caribbean Tourism Report Q3 2025’, over the 2025–2029 period, Cayman’s visitor arrivals are forecast to rise by an average of 6.4% annually, one of the strongest sustained growth rates in the region, pushing total air arrivals to 594,460 by 2029.
By comparison, regional tourism growth is expected to average 3% annually, led by modest gains in large-volume markets such as the Dominican Republic, Bahamas and Puerto Rico, which are forecast to expand by between 2% and 4% per year.
Over the medium term, from 2025 to 2029, BMI forecasts that arrivals to the Caribbean will climb to nearly 28.8 million visitors. The report attributes this positive trajectory to strong demand from key markets in North America, Europe and Latin America, supported by the Caribbean’s continued affordability and proximity for travelers from these regions.
