Kingsley Been, Chairman, TCI Tourist Board: “As we continue to expand and diversify from our traditional source markets such as North America and into new and emerging markets such as the BRIC countries our numbers can only and will only continue to expand and increase in arrivals. With that increase in tourism arrivals, so too is the increasing exposure and vulnerability of this destination to some disease.
