Thursday, 14th December 2017

Tourism season is up and running across the Caribbean – yet it has only been months since devastating storms ripped through the region.

Many of the Caribbean’s 7,000 islands are promoting themselves as “open for business”, but others struggle to return to a sense of normalcy.
