Telegraph: "Besides the promise of tropical heat, warm seas and lovely beaches, there are particularly timely reasons to consider a holiday to the Caribbean. First, the cost. On many islands, the local currency is pegged to the US dollar, and with the pound so strong against the dollar, much of the Caribbean is currently less expensive for British travellers than in past years. Though some hotels have increased their rates, tour operators' packages should still work out a little cheaper than last winter, while day-to-day costs such as eating out, which can be high on islands such as Barbados, should be roughly 10 per cent less than this time last year."
Forbes I recently spent a week in Turks and Caicos , my first time out of the country since the pandemic hit. Like many Caribbean countries, Turks and Caicos rely almost entirely on tourism to power their economy, so they’re desperate for travelers to return. I’m happy to report that these beautiful beaches felt like an escape from the despair of this global pandemic, and here’s how they are keeping travelers safe.
