9/5/2008 -
Hurricane Ike gained significant strength yesterday in the Caribbean. It’s now a Category 4 storm heading toward the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos this weekend. Tourism officials in the Turks & Caicos have asked tourists to leave the islands today, and the Providenciales airport will close later this afternoon. Travel Weekly reports that Butch Stewart, the chairman of Sandals and Beaches Resorts (an OSSN supplier member!), chartered an airplane to fly home the remaining guests still staying at the Beaches Turks & Caicos resort (which will close until Sept. 26 to clean up debris from Tropical Storm Hanna). If you have clients traveling in the Caribbean or the southeastern U.S. coast this weekend, you should check ahead with suppliers in case those travel plans change due to these storms.
