Ukusukela ngoko ibe nefuthe elibi kuqoqosho lwehlabathi liphela - ukuhamba kunye nokhenketho luphakathi kwawona mashishini ebethwaxwa kakhulu.

Ummandla weCaribbean wachatshazelwa kakhulu ngubhubhani we-COVID-19 ngo-2020, ngenxa yokuba ngokwezibalo singomnye wemimandla exhomekeke kukhenketho kwihlabathi.
Idatha efunyenwe kwiCaribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) ibonisa ukuba abakhenkethi abafikayo kulo mmandla ngo-2020 behlile ukuya kwi-11 yezigidi. Somlomo, oku kukwehla ngeepesenti ezingama-65.5 xa kuthelekiswa nerekhodi yabakhenkethi abazizigidi ezingama-32 kunyaka ophelileyo.
