Stakeholders In The Tourism Industry breathe a sigh of relief that the cruise business recommences, with the first vessel in at Port St. George today.
After the lengthy COVID lay-off, the Royal Clipper comes calling, at a time when travel to the Caribbean holds the most appeal to both the US and European markets, due to the warm weather and the multitude of excursion options available.
All passengers disembarking from the visiting cruise ships will be 100% vaccinated, except children below the age of 14, and will have to comply with rigorous protocols that have been put in place.
The positive impact of the return of cruise ships is expected to offer a much-needed boost to the tourism sector, which has severely felt the effects of the pandemic.
