Voters in the Cayman Islands will have to wait until Election Day 2025 to have their say on the future of the island's cruise industry, as the cruise berthing referendum will not be held this year as previously expected.
The Ministry of Tourism and Ports, through a media statement yesterday, announced that Cabinet had granted approval for the referendum on cruise berthing to be held concurrently with the general election in 2025.
The Cabinet has also granted its approval for the referendum to include two additional questions that have been the subjects of ongoing national debate.
The Cayman Compass reports that decriminalising small amounts of marijuana, as well as the introduction of a national lottery, are likely to be the two additional topics that will be put to the vote.
