The small Caribbean island of Anguilla says it will continue to frown on cruise tourism even as the British Overseas Territory rebuilds its tourism sector after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tourism officials say the revenue generated from cruise tourism is not worth the environmental impact.
Minister of Tourism Haydn Hughes told reporters that cruises are not good for Anguilla.
The tourism minister said St. Thomas and St. Maarten, the Caribbean destinations in which cruise passengers spend the most, the average expenditure is US$172 per passenger.
