Forging a United Future: First Meeting to Launch a Caribbean Music Tourism Alliance at the 2025 Anguilla Music Tourism Convention

The Caribbean's rhythm is set to become its most powerful economic engine. In a landmark move for the region, the 2025 Anguilla Music Tourism Convention will serve as the host of the first meeting to launch a Caribbean Music Tourism Alliance, a pioneering initiative with ambitions to harness the collective power of the region's music and culture.

The Sound of Economic Power

Music tourism is an essential force driving the Caribbean economy. The festival and carnival season alone can account for up to 30% of an island's GDP. In Trinidad and Tobago, for example, Carnival attracts over 30,000 international visitors in just two days, generating a staggering US$60 million in annual revenue (IDB, 2022). The full breadth of this immense potential remains untapped. It's the time to unleash it through unified regional collaboration.

The arrival of the global Music Tourism Convention in Anguilla marks a significant shift. It is more than a conference; it aims to become the catalyst for a regional movement, uniting leaders from music, tourism, and government for the first time to address shared challenges and seize common opportunities.

The First Meeting to Launch a Caribbean Music Tourism Alliance

Anguilla will host a first-of-a-kind meeting with the aim to set a Caribbean Music Tourism Alliance in motion. This meeting is proposed as a high-level working group of key stakeholders operating at the intersection of music, hospitality, and the creative economy. 

The Launch: From Dialogue to Action

The official journey begins on 6 November 2025 with an invite-only discussion session at the Anguilla Music Tourism Convention, hosted by Sound Diplomacy.
