New testing entry requirements imposed this month for international travelers returning to or entering the US, UK and Canada are causing challenges for the tourism industry and Caribbean Governments. Many destinations lack the capacity to conduct the tests within the required time period.

Companies and destinations which are better able to respond to the requirements, facilitate testing, and provide health safety assurances to the prospective traveler will be better positioned to recover and weather the next several months.

Join us for an informative discussion as we dive into the details and address questions and concerns by tourism’s public and private sector stakeholders.

What We’ll Cover:
