(BBC) Itโs about to get more expensive to travel from the Caribbean to the United States.
The US government, looking for ways to put more money in its coffers, is set to begin charging travellers from the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico a new inspection tax.
The charge is expected to be around an additional six dollars on a ticket to enter the country.
But Caribbean-Americans are not happy about the proposed tax.
They say it will be bad for vacationers coming from the region, and also bad for companies in the US who do business with the Caribbean.
The new travel tax is expected to come into effect shortly.
