AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Marriott Beach Upgrade: Grand Cayman Marriott Resort is rebranding as the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort and restoring its Seven Mile Beach shoreline with government-approved sand replenishment and low-profile rock structures, aiming to finish in early September and reopen the beach to the public. Mosquito Alert: The Mosquito Research and Control Unit says biting numbers remain elevated on Grand Cayman, with 2026 year-to-date averages around 40 mosquitoes per trap night (up from 29 last year), driven by tidal flooding and seasonal waves. Tourism Growth Watch: Cayman welcomed 40,460 stayover visitors in June (+6.9% y/y) and 288,694 for the first half (+11.3%), with cruise passengers also rising (55,639 in June, +15.5%). Airport Runway Scrutiny: A CI$1.498M contract has been awarded for environmental impact assessments tied to runway extension plans at Owen Roberts (Grand Cayman) and Charles Kirkconnell (Cayman Brac), amid concerns over North Sound impacts and costs. Cruise Accessibility: A new report highlights how tender-port access can be frustrating for wheelchair users, with Grand Cayman mentioned as a case where ramps can make a difference. Shark Encounter: A first-time Cayman scuba trip turned dramatic when a family on an ocean dive encountered three hammerhead sharks up close.
