THE Cayman Islands has said no to cruise lines until next year, despite plans to open up further for international tourism.
The government ban now ends on 31 Dec, but chances are the Caymans will be in no hurry to resume receiving cruise ships as it rethinks its tourism strategy.
The Caymans made a quick turnaround from its initial cruise openness when the pandemic hit.
The country is reportedly now choosing to focus its energy on welcoming tourists that stay for more extended periods of time.
