ORANJESTAD – Aruba is expected to record the highest hotel occupancy rate in the Caribbean during July 2026. According to an analysis by Travel and Tour World (TTW), the island is projected to achieve occupancy levels of 85% to 88%, the highest among the destinations reviewed.

The report attributes Aruba's strong performance to several factors, including its location outside the hurricane belt, its reputation as a safe destination, a high percentage of repeat visitors, and its strong portfolio of luxury and all-inclusive resorts.

TTW also notes that more than 75% of Aruba's stayover visitors come from the United States. Expanded nonstop air service from major U.S. cities has further strengthened demand.

According to the analysis, Aruba outperformed destinations such as the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, and Jamaica, making it the Caribbean's top-performing island for hotel occupancy during the July holiday period. NOTE: This image was created using AI as an illustration for this article
