Vincy Mas: why the Saint-Vincent carnival starts in June

In Kingstown, capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the countdown has begun. On June 26, 2026, Vincy Mas will open a new edition under the theme “The Great Escape”. For twelve days, until July 7, the island of around 100,000 inhabitants will host its biggest cultural event. The slogan speaks of warmth, escape and celebration. But behind the poster is a story of timing. In the mas camps, the weeks leading up to the opening are rarely silent.

The Travel Dreams 2026 report by Amadeus, however, suggests a possible turnaround. What was once perceived as a fragility can become a value proposition, as long as it is acknowledged and accurately portrayed. This is where the notion of visible sustainability becomes central. What travellers say The study first documents the scale of demand. Of the 6,000 travelers surveyed across six major global markets, 75% say that a hotel’s sustainability commitments are important in their booking decision. More than one in three, precisely 35%,

Bamby, première artiste de Guyane nommée aux Flammes, arrive à Paris

Bamby hasn’t announced a concert date like adding a line to a tour. In a video posted on Instagram, the Guyanese artist spoke of emotion. On October 20, 2026, she will take to the stage at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris, a venue steeped in history. For many fans, this appointment tells more than a musical agenda: it marks a rare milestone for a voice born in French Guiana. An artist shaped by French Guiana Behind the stage name Bamby, there’s Ambre Zamor, an artist from French Guiana, associated from the outset with a direct, popular dancehall energy, often carried by the language, attitudes and sound codes of the territory. She came to prominence in 2015 with Real Wifey, in collaboration with Jahyanai, another important figure on the Guyanese scene. This track establishes a clear identity: a female voice, an assertive Caribbean phrasing, a way of addressing her audience without
