Earthquake Response: A powerful 6.0 quake rattled Antigua and Barbuda, with the Seismic Research Centre at the University of the West Indies placing it about 80 km northeast at a depth of 31 km; residents across multiple communities reported strong shaking, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or major damage. Regional Impact: Shaking was also felt across a wide swath of the Eastern Caribbean and beyond, including St Barthélemy, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, St Lucia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Seismic Context: The region sits near the boundary of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates, so earthquakes are a recurring reality. Tourism Signals (Older): Curaçao’s tourism mix is getting attention for staying balanced between luxury and economy travel, a pattern researchers say could help destinations stay resilient as premium demand shifts—especially with Latin American travelers rising fast.
