Show Notes

Caribbean Weekend at Sea: Tourism Leaders Chart a Post-Melissa Revival follows regional tourism officials as they confront the fallout of Hurricane Melissa during a high-stakes summit held aboard a cruise liner. With airports damaged, ports closed, and confidence shaken, representatives from across the Caribbean face a hard reality. Tourism recovery is no longer about quick rebounds or polished marketing. It is about credibility, coordination, and survival in an era of recurring climate disruption. Set against the irony of movement at sea and paralysis on land, the story captures a region wrestling with uneven damage, competing pressures, and the cost of telling the truth when livelihoods depend on optimism.
