Indeed, the prognosis is dire for the airline operations and for hotel bookings. Yesterday, the Prime Minister shared the bad news about rapid hotel cancellations:
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow- Prime Minister
"Regarding the cancellations that the hotels are already experiencing, 33% of all hotel bookings in this country is done through Expedia. Just today Expedia told the BTB that they are seeing a 35% cancellation for Belize hotels. That is a big enough sample to give an indication of the kind of impact that this thing is already having. That's why I said we were in no rush to talk about cancellation of flights. Already the industry is taking a pounding. If this continues, as I've said, there will be no need to cancel flights because nobody will be coming."
That was yesterday, and with US President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency n the US today - those cancellations are sure to climb very sharply.
