(Bloomberg) -- Hotels, airports and airlines across Mexico and the Caribbean are rushing to set up Covid-19 testing sites to meet new U.S. entry rules and salvage demand for the pandemic-hit travel industry.
In Mexico, tourist magnets like Cancun have set up multiple testing sites inside airports to accommodate travelers to the U.S., which on Tuesday started requiring proof of negative Covid results before allowing visitors to fly in from other nations. Hyatt Hotels Corp. is offering complimentary testing at its 19 Latin America resorts, while Marriott International Inc. is providing a mix of on-site testing and assistance coordinating with local facilities.
