Countries have endured over a year of extreme uncertainty due to the COVID-19 crisis, and economies in the Caribbean have suffered more than most. With the increasing availability of vaccines and prospects for a resumption of international travel, we can begin to imagine what a post-COVID tourism recovery would look like.

In this conversation, our panel discusses the factors that will affect the pace of tourism recovery in the region, the policy actions that tourism-dependent countries can take, as well as the opportunities for growing the sector based on their findings in the latest Caribbean Quarterly Bulletin report.

Our host, Golda Lee Bruce, talks with David Rosenblatt (Regional Economic Advisor, IDB Caribbean Department), Henry Mooney (Research Economics Advisor, IDB Caribbean Department) and Olga Gómez García (Operations Lead Specialist for the tourism sector, IDB Climate Change, and Sustainable Development Department).
