The BTA is encouraged by the steady growth of cruise ship arrivals and the annual increase in the number of passengers coming ashore in Bridgetown.

Barbados received 362,611 cruise visitors in 1990 and 533,278 in 2000. Preliminary estimates for 2001 shows a record 295,210 passengers for the period January to April over 44,500 more than for the corresponding period last year.
