Aviation & Tourism Connectivity: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes have signed an interline agreement taking effect June 1, letting travelers book both airlines on one ticket with through-checked baggage—aimed at making multi-island trips easier across Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and onward to Europe via Paris Orly. Regional Route Shock: Caribbean Airlines is cutting key links from June 1, ending service to Dominica and St Kitts and reducing flights to Martinique and Guadeloupe to twice weekly, after route losses and a lack of consultation with St Kitts and Nevis officials—prompting talks to replace the St Kitts connection. Cruise Spotlight (Leeward Islands): Emerald Cruises is launching an 8-day “Culinary Collection” sailing on Emerald Sakara (Dec 13–20, 2026) with celebrity chef Rachel Hargrove, including stops such as Guadeloupe and Martinique. Health & Travel Watch: France reported 92 imported mosquito-borne cases in May (dengue, chikungunya, Zika), with many linked to overseas territories including Martinique and Guadeloupe. Sports Tourism: Antigua’s Run in Paradise drew 380+ runners from across the region and beyond, with strong Guadeloupe participation and races finishing along Fort James Beach.
