abstract

This study presents an analysis of the state of aviation liberalisation in CARICOM (Caribbean Community) and its implications for regional tourism to Barbados as a member state in CARICOM. The evidence shows that improvements to the regulatory aviation environment in CARICOM would aid improvements in intra-regional tourism. Given the benefits that have been obtained globally, previous studies have been deductive and analysed the benefits of a less restrictive aviation environment in the region. However, the inductive approach of this study reveals that before there can be a successful attempt at any such liberalism in CARICOM, there are pre-existing constraining factors which must be addressed since they will hinder the effectiveness of any such policy. The study therefore proposes that the effectiveness of the existing regional multilateral agreement is hindered by political interference, not only in the overall context of aviation bureaucracy, but also in the business operations of the regional carriers.

5. Conclusion

This research considered CARICOM air transport from a Barbadian perspective. However, the issues outlined in this study should not be viewed as being solely representative of air transport practices in Barbados. Barbados does not have a national carrier and with the exception of regional Carrier LIAT, of which Barbados is currently a shareholder, Barbados does not have a vibrant domicile commercial carrier industry. However, this lack of a national carrier is a characteristic of most of the CARICOM nations. It would be interesting to examine how this issue is viewed in other CARICOM countries which depend more on regional aviation.
