Do you believe it appropriate to offer hotel rooms, when the local authorities have said that their first assessment is 3-6 months of recovery for basic essential infrastructure? According to the news, some of the hotels featured have suffered structural damage. Do you honestly believe that the hotels will be fit for customers in 3 months? And even then, what kind of environment will greet visitors? There is no warning posted at the Air Canada vacations site. Wouldn't the responsible action be pulling the offers until an assessment was done and the seller knew for sure that the customers would be taken care of and not wading in sewage or staying at a damaged resort?......
And further to this point about St. Maarten/ Sint Martin
