I was thinking the same thing and it occurred to me that many of these trips were booked 6-9 months ago. Some people that have a strict set vacation schedule book trips like school vacation week a year in advance.
So, they will not get back their deposit or the money for the entire trip including airline flights if they cancel now.
I am starting to wonder IF this is an act of either a psycho or a terrorist. It has to be crushing their economy going forward.
A pathologist on Fox News this morning thought it was most likely a pesticide being used and not methanol. Apparently, 2 people died in the USVI’s a couple years back from an illegal pesticide that is colorless and odorless. It causes the same pulmonary edema.
Who stands to gain here?
Maybe Cuba is desperate for more tourist dollars.
