Crime in the Caribbean
CRIME A GROWING CONCERN IN THE CARIBBEAN: Bahamian prime minister Perry Christie has warned those involved in the Caribbean’s tourist trade that crime and filth are harming the Caribbean’s efforts to attract more tourists. “Why would a visitor want to leave a clean, safe, all-inclusive resort to be exposed to filth and rip-offs... a priority must be placed on stamping out criminal behaviour,” he said during this week’s Caribbean Tourism Conference in Freeport, Bahamas. Like most destinations, the Caribbean’s tourist trade has suffered since Sept. 11, 2001, and tourism officials say crime and harassment of visitors is hurting recovery efforts. One study by a McGill University centre found the rate of crime was the greatest concern for tourists considering Caribbean vacations.
I can sure see this in Nassau or Montego Bay but I thought the Cayman was one of the safest of the Caribbean Islands?
