This article focuses on the Caribbean lodging market and provides valuable insight into the major island destinations Aruba, the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico - considered the "The Big Six" in Caribbean tourism. The article was compiled by the HVS Caribbean office from our primary research during fieldwork, our extensive knowledge of the Caribbean market and in-house database of relevant statistics. Our thanks go to Laura Kalcevic, of HVS New York, for her contribution to an early version of the article and Erin Bagley, Intern with HVS Bahamas, for her research on the Cuba section. This article is a shorter version of our full article which will be available to our 2012 HVS Caribbean Hotel Investment Conference and Operations Summit (HVS CHICOS) attendees at the Atlantis Resort on November 8 and 9 this year.
