The Caribbean, silent antidote to contemporary exhaustion

There’s a precise moment, in a Caribbean village in the early hours of the morning, when the noise of the world seems to stop. The first lights fall on the facades, a voice answers from one courtyard to another, the smell of coffee mingles with that of the nearby sea. Hardly anyone checks their phone.

When the world is looking to get off the hook These are the findings of Travel Dreams 2026: From data to delight, a study published in early 2026 by Amadeus, one of the world’s leading technology players
