Kenneth Bryan, the Chairman of the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), has made a resolute appeal to all residents of the Caribbean to maintain vigilance throughout this hurricane season. He urged preparation for impending storms and emphasized the importance of quick response and recovery efforts.
“Even as we protect life and property here in the western Caribbean, we stand in solidarity with the people of St. Vincent and the islands of the Grenadines who have been severely impacted by Hurricane Beryl,” said Bryan, Minister of Tourism and Ports of the Cayman Islands. “Their pain is our pain, and their struggles are felt across our entire region,” said the CTO Chairman, who noted that “when one member of our Caribbean family is affected, we all feel the impact. But together, we must unite and support each other through these challenging times”.
The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) is dedicated to collaborating with relief organizations to guarantee a well-coordinated and efficient response to the effects of hurricanes.
“We recognize the critical importance of preparedness. As hurricanes become more frequent and intense due to climate change, we urge all residents and businesses to take necessary precautions. Secure your homes, stock up on essential supplies, and have a clear plan in place. At the same time, we must be ready to support our neighbors and contribute to swift recovery efforts,” Chairman Bryan emphasized.
“Climate change poses a significant threat to our region, and we must be proactive in our response. This hurricane season, let us demonstrate the strength of our Caribbean spirit by preparing diligently and standing in solidarity. Our collective efforts will make a difference and ensure that we emerge stronger and more resilient,” Chairman Bryan added.
Chairman Bryan also urged the global community to support the region by reconstructing infrastructure, reinstating vital services, and aiding communities in their recovery efforts. “We contribute the least to and suffer the most from the changing climate, so we need the global community to help provide resources for improved building standards, better communication systems, and more resilient infrastructure to mitigate future hurricane impacts.”
