AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Caribbean Aviation Tax: The Dutch Council of State is challenging the Netherlands’ plan to apply different aviation tax rates to Caribbean destinations, flagging potential unfairness between places at similar distances from Amsterdam—while Martinique and Saint Barthélemy could face the highest rate due to their EU status. Data Centers & Local Impacts: Residents near a proposed WGN transmitter data center site raised concerns in Elk Grove Village about noise, wildlife effects and water use, urging studies on low-frequency impacts. Regional Connectivity Push: The U.S. State Department announced a major submarine cable initiative for the Caribbean and Central America, with legal and technical help for “trusted” suppliers—while Cuba is left out. Culture & Exchange: Martinique visual artist JKing completed a three-week residency in Dominica with workshops, school engagement and a permanent mural, supported by the Caribbean Culture Fund. Environment & Waste: Jamaica is dealing with foreign plastic waste piling up along its coast, including debris linked to multiple islands and labels from across the region, prompting calls for cross-island cooperation. Public Sector Response: Castries Constituency Council (CCC) issued a detailed rebuttal to criticism of the city constabulary, citing investments in employee welfare, safety gear and operational resources. Travel Deals: Costa Cruises launched a Labor Day Sale offering cabin upgrades on Mediterranean, Caribbean and Canary itineraries for bookings through Sept. 13.
