We in Barbados are desperate to get our economy going again, and who could criticise the Mia Mottley administration for doing all in its power to return some life to our country that is wrestling with four consecutive quarters of double-digit declines.The international cruise sector is champing at the bit to return to the seas after suffering billions of dollars in pandemic losses. And given the major humanitarian role that Barbados played last year, in providing vital air and port access to thousands of cruise passengers and crew, we are expecting the sector will show Barbados some significant goodwill, in return.With 121 million Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and 36 million Britons, receiving at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, we are certainly hedging our bets that we will benefit from that pent up demand for travel and leisure.
