AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCruise Tourism Shift: MSC Cruises is reshuffling its winter 2027/28 plans, cancelling planned Middle East routes and redeploying MSC World Europa to the western Mediterranean while assigning MSC World Asia to the South Caribbean, with embarkation including Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) and Fort-de-France (Martinique), plus stops across the Leeward and Windward islands. Local Connectivity for Visitors: The change matters for Guadeloupe’s port activity and passenger flows, since MSC World Asia’s itineraries explicitly include Guadeloupe as a boarding point. Energy Policy Lesson: A regional renewable-energy report flags the Brechin Castle Solar Farm situation as a cautionary tale, pointing to planning and alignment gaps among utilities, governments, and regulators, and linking electricity affordability and resilience to solar performance across Caribbean markets. Aviation Niche Spotlight: A feature highlights a Zenair amphibious STOL CH701 on Guadeloupe’s sandbar environment, underscoring how local conditions support specialized aircraft use. Culture & Heritage: The BFI is set to launch a major Sarah Maldoror film season in London, spotlighting her work and the Scorsese-backed 4K restoration of Sambizanga, a key political-cinema milestone.
