The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) has asked the region\u2019s government leaders to reduce the\u00a0isolation periods for travelers to align<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with the United Kingdom and the United States to avoid reversing the progress made by the tourism sector since the COVID-19 pandemic slammed the Caribbean\u2019s most important economic driver.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In a letter to Prime Minister Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda, who currently serves as outgoing Chairman of CARICOM (Caribbean Community), CHTA President Nicola Madden-Greig noted that both the U.K. and the U.S. are reducing the isolation period for COVID-positive persons. The revised U.S. protocol allows for five days and the U.K. for seven days\u2019 confinement. Presently, some Caribbean jurisdictions require as many as 14 days in isolation. The data no longer substantiates that length of time, which presents unnecessary financial and personal hardship to residents, visitors, destinations and companies and increasingly will deter travel. CHTA recommends a seven-day period, according to Madden-Greig.<\/p>\n

Omicron Variant<\/strong><\/h6>\n

While the Omicron variant is highly contagious, she said, it caused only a \u201clow level of severe illness requiring hospitalization, and a low death rate and has proven to be particularly less virulent for those who are vaccinated.\u201d Accordingly, the faster recovery rates justified moves by the British and American governments to reduce the isolation periods.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Madden-Greig commended Caribbean Governments for restraining from closing borders and restricting travel.\u00a0\u201cGovernment policies coupled with the efforts of health and tourism officials to enforce health safety protocols,\u201d she contended, \u201chave resulted in the restoration of employment and\u00a0airlift<\/span>\u00a0to near pre-pandemic\u00a0levels<\/span>, higher vaccination rates for tourism-related employees, and low positivity test result rates for travelers, preventing massive business failures which would be detrimental to our long-term recovery.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Adhering to Health and Safety Protocols<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Reinforcing the critical need to continue to\u00a0adhere<\/span>\u00a0to health safety protocols and increase vaccination\u00a0levels\u00a0for Caribbean residents and visitors, Madden-Greig applauded the region\u2019s governments,\u00a0health officials<\/a><\/strong>, and the tourism industry for the proactive and effective measures which have been put in place and resulted in the region\u2019s tourism industry recovering faster than any other area of the world.<\/p>\n

She cautioned that \u201coverreaction over the coming critical weeks can reverse the progress we\u2019ve made towards recovery.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Keeping Borders Open<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Madden-Greig commended Caribbean Governments for\u00a0restraining from closing borders<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>and restricting travel.\u00a0\u201cGovernment policies coupled with the efforts of health and tourism officials to enforce health safety protocols,\u201d she contended, \u201chave resulted in the restoration of employment and\u00a0airlift\u00a0to near pre-pandemic\u00a0levels, higher vaccination rates for tourism-related employees, and low positivity test result rates for travelers, preventing massive business failures which would be detrimental to our long-term recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reinforcing the critical need to continue to\u00a0adhere\u00a0to health safety protocols and increase vaccination\u00a0levels\u00a0for Caribbean residents and visitors, Madden-Greig applauded the region\u2019s governments, health officials, and the tourism industry for the proactive and effective measures which have been put in place and resulted in the region\u2019s tourism industry recovering faster than any other area of the world.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She cautioned that \u201coverreaction over the coming critical weeks can reverse the progress we\u2019ve made towards recovery.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Commenting on the importance of regional harmonization for entry, testing and isolation\/quarantine requirements, she cited reports of continued confusion in the marketplace about having many and varied requirements by Caribbean governments. This confusion, she cautioned, is a deterrent to travel and is slowing the recovery. The CHTA leader urged greater collaboration by Caribbean governments to\u00a0align\u00a0entry, testing and isolation and quarantine policies.<\/p>\n

PCR Test Costs<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Citing the cost and availability of COVID-19 PCR tests, which can add US$600 to travel costs for a family of four, CHTA recommended that antigen tests approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) be accepted for entry. The Bahamas, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Jamaica and the U.S. Virgin Islands accept antigen tests and have not reported higher infection rates among tourists.<\/p>\n

To help reduce the high cost of PCR tests, the association recommended greater flexibility in sourcing the test as local health authorities work with suppliers to reduce the cost. In closing, the CHTA president reminded the CARICOM head that \u201cwell-balanced precautionary and preventive actions have successfully steered our economies towards recovery and must continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
