The tourism industry brings the Caribbean’s struggling economies about $20bn (£13bn) a year, and accounts for 30 per cent of gross domestic product and provides one of every four jobs.
The $20bn tourism industry is the ‘economic mainstay’ for many of the Caribbean's island states. For example, ‘the gross domestic product for the Bahamas was $5.3bn last year. Seventy per cent of that was generated from tourism-related business.’
