How much did each Caribbean country spend on tourism in 2009?

I want to know how much, by country, each Caribbean country spent in $US on tourism in 2009. Please include links to your sources so I can reference them.

Thanks!

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Apart from what my friends already added here (there is no point in repeating it), predominantly from the page;

http://www.caribbeannewsdigital.com/en/news/12881/the_bahamas_spends_big_money_on_tourism,

I have a few more glimpses;

1. The Caribbean tourism industry suffered major setback in 2009. Only the following countries showed minor incline in the figures (Year on Year):

Cuba - 3.3%
Curacao - 1.5%
Guyana - 5.7%
Jamaica - 4.1%

2. The following countries showed heavy declines;

British Virgin Islands - 25%
Anguilla - 22.6%
Montserrat - 17.5%
Bermuda - 17.0%
Bonaire - 16.7%

You can find a few more detailed reports (you may need to buy them, as they are not free) from the following site (click the links for different reports);

And another detailed report on country wise tourist arrivals is available here, although it does not tell about the expenditures;

Hope that helps
