A calm Atlantic hurricane season is fueling a dramatic fall travel boom in the Caribbean, with Aruba bookings soaring 53.93 percent and the Bahamas climbing 17.65 percent year-over-year, according to Squaremouth data released on September 3. These increases follow an earlier Squaremouth report showing overall regional travel during the hurricane season running 21 percent ahead of last year. This trend highlights a shifting travel pattern for September through November. Once defined by hurricane anxiety and lower hotel rates, the autumn period is developing its own demand momentum. Properties like the Embassy Suites by Hilton Aruba Resort and The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort in the Bahamas, are welcoming this rising influx of visitors seeking seasonal island getaways.
