Dollar boosts Caribbean business
A luxury vacation and hotel reservations company serving the Caribbean has a somewhat unusual reason for expecting record travel this year:
The dollar.
“Current monetary fluctuations make our US-dollar priced villas in the Caribbean an especially great deal for travelers from the UK and the EU,” said Janis Gordon, vice president of Marketing for Wimco, a Newport, RI-based hotel reservation company.
Ms Gordon said Wimco does not adjust its Caribbean prices mid-season. So prices will remain the same throughout 2005.
She reported demand for private villas for stays ranging from one to four weeks have grown significantly in the past 12 months.
