If the recent survey done by the United States magazine, Travel and Leisure is anything to go by, the Caribbean’s hugely economically significant tourist season is not in danger of imminent ruin on account of the Zika virus.
Stabroek Business has seen an article in last weekend’s Trinidad Guardian alluding to a survey by the publication’s Specialist Projects Editor Jacqueline Gifford in which she asserts that would-be vacationers’ travel plans remain mostly unchanged and that their holiday spots include parts of the region that have been tagged with advisories against visiting. The findings, the Guardian article says, were made public at the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) 43rd Caribbean Week New York at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, Manhattan.
