The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) says the region is open for business and ready to welcome travellers in the wake of the U.S. military action in Venezuela, which caused a temporary closure of airspace last weekend that disrupted some travellers.
“Cruise and air travel within the Caribbean remain operational, and advance bookings continue to be strong,” the 25-member organization said in a statement Thursday, adding, “The CTO encourages travellers to proceed with their (travel) plans…”
“The Caribbean has extensive experience managing external disruptions and has consistently demonstrated the resilience of its tourism industry,” the CTO continued, adding, “We are grateful to our airline partners for adding capacity to ensure travellers were able to continue with their plans, and to the accommodations sector for its flexibility in supporting affected guests, while safeguarding the region’s vital economic engine.”
