Anguilla hails record tourist arrivals
Anguilla is celebrating a record uptick in visitor arrivals.
In December 2024, the British Overseas Territory welcomed 23,871 visitors, representing a 24.5% increase from December 2023.
This is the highest number of arrivals for the month of December since 1993.
In 2024, visitor arrivals for March and December marked Anguilla’s best-performing months, returning to the strong performance seen pre pandemic in 2019.
Additionally, June and October marked Anguilla’s best-performing months over the previous year’s visitor arrivals.
The northeastern United States remains the island’s top regional source market.
Meanwhile, emerging markets such as Canada and Latin America are displaying notable growth, tourism officials say.
Anguilla’s Director of Tourism, Stacey Liburd said: “These impressive figures showcase Anguilla’s growing appeal to travelers, confirming our status as a preferred choice in the Caribbean.
Liburd said this is especially true in the luxury sector.
“This accomplishment is the result of strategic collaborations with our public and private stakeholders, along with regional partners, as well as the Anguilla Tourist Board’s (ATB) successful marketing efforts.”
Deputy Director, Chantelle Richardson added: “We remain committed to welcoming travelers from our established markets in the US, Canada and the UK, while simultaneously exploring new markets.”
An increase in stay-over tourists drove the growth in visitor arrivals for December 2024.
Notably, 99.3% of visitors arrived for a vacation, while the remaining 0.7% were on business trips.
