Please, it is not fair to put Little Cayman in the “Sister Islands” covid bucket. Little Cayman has had only 2 CV19 cases that I am aware of. All the other cases have been on Cayman Brac. Little Cayman remains the safest, and most vigilant destination to visit in the Caribbean, and you are scaring people away with your misleading reporting. Thanks for your consideration.
Dear Cayman Compass,
I find that your opinion indicators at the end of each article , i.e.
“How do you feel after reading this?” are confusing.
Do I vote thumbs up because I agree with the lady that she is deservingly upset with Travel Cayman for her terrible experience,
OR do I vote thumbs down for the fact that Travel Cayman really let her down and that Cayman has lost some valuable visitors?
The Travel Cayman system needs to be streamlined as many are finding it extremely frustrating and just giving up on the process. I find it hard to believe that this is what our tourism industry is wanting and the process needs to be seriously updated to make it easier especially in view of the fact that we have a lot of community infections.
