The Caribbean and Latin America Strengthen Their Role in the Global Luxury Tourism Landscape

Luxury tourism is entering a new phase of expansion across the Caribbean and Latin America. International groups like Hotel Equities are accelerating their presence in the region with a growing portfolio of operational hotels and developments in destinations including Turks & Caicos, Riviera Maya, Curaçao, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.

This momentum reflects a structural shift in premium travel demand. Today’s high-end traveller seeks bespoke experiences, distinctive destinations and a deeper connection with nature, without compromising on comfort or service standards. The CALA region combines these elements and has become a priority destination for global hospitality investment.

The alignment of these announcements with major international tourism events underlines a broader reality: the Caribbean and Latin America are no longer secondary markets, but strategic pillars of global luxury travel. Boutique resorts, branded residences and hybrid hospitality-lifestyle concepts are reshaping the regional offer.

For the luxury industry, this evolution opens new opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, from fashion and fine jewellery partnerships to culinary experiences and wellness-driven propositions. Luxury tourism in CALA is entering a more refined and internationally connected era.
