The foreign press shares insights of tourists in or headed to the
Dominican Republic in days of Irma. Punta Cana resorts are already hosting some of the survivors of Irma in the eastern Caribbean.
The media is also focusing on how the storm will affect the cruise industry in the Caribbean. The Miami Herald focuses on how the cruise industry will need to redirect its ships now that St. Thomas, St. Johns, Turks & Caicos, Anguilla, Barbuda, St. Maarten/St. Martin, Bahamas and Cuba destinations need time to recover. The newspaper reports that Royal Caribbean will be sending his ships to transport tourists stranded in the islands.
Cruises into the Carnival-Amber Cove terminal in Puerto Plata that were suspended due to Irma, will be resumed since Tuesday, 11 September 2017, according to their website.
