The Caribbean’s tourism industry, having endured for almost two years a disastrous decline on account of the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic, would appear to be on the way to recovery at a faster rate than anywhere else in the world, according to recent information gleaned from a World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) probe.
At the onset of the outbreak of the pandemic in the Caribbean a pall of gloom had settled over the tourism industry in the region arising out of thousands of lost jobs, dramatically reduced family incomes and lower standards of living in the wake of the impact of the pandemic on travel, hospitality and the various other sub-sectors comprising the tourism industry in the heavily visitor arrival-dependent Caribbean.
