Not the prettiest of mornings as we start Daylight Saving time throughout the country but it is what we have on this monday. John a lot of people cancelling their caribbean vacations because of the zika virus. But your a lot of the cancellations are happening in places that arent even being now, some resorts and those are going out of their way to promote themselves as zikafree destinations. And, that could mean great deals for you. We have a travel agent here to talk about it. Hi, good morning, how are you. John it started with an email from the Dominican Republic saying zikafree. And point out, you go to the other countries, there might be concerns and people are cancel but we are fine. What are you seeing in the travel industry. Some cancellations. We are at about 1500 bookings this year and have only seen two, from pregnant women. Or someone looking to conceive. So really the concern is, if you are expecting or wanting to conceive, you probably shouldnt go to these infected areas but there. John i would imagine, you know people will think twice about it and maybe are hesitant and dont book the trip. But if you arent concerned you can really score this summer, cant you . Yes. And people think it is all over its not all over the caribbean. You can go to st. Lucia, and grenada, and antigua and the bahamas and the beautiful turks and caicos and those are zikafree. Sandals is promoting zikafree as well and have 65 off, three nights, free candlelight dinners, catamarans, and really, really great destinations there, in st. Lucia, antigua, antigua is one of the top honeymoon we were there and it was fantastic. Talk about these here. You said fairmont, right . What is that like. The fairmont is in bermuda, if you ever thought of going to bermuda, they are offering great promotions there as well. Free nights, and, discounts as well. So why not visit pink sand beaches, you know . Their literally pink sand beaches. John bright pink. Like a hue of pink. John i have never seen that night is beautiful very quickly. Looks fantastic. Yes. Great deals. Definitely great deals. And, the thing about it is, most of these resorts, you can travel with the feeling that, lets say you find out your wife was expecting. And you didnt even know it. Well, you can cancel and they are giving you a full refund, the cruise lines are letting you reschedule. The resorts are letting you cancel or reschedule your trips or go to a different destination. Within their properties. So, it is kind of a riskfree type opportunity. In cases that dont do that you still need to buy the trip insurance, is that a good idea . Recommend. But, unfortunately, it doesnt cover for zika, like if you find out there is a zika wherever ever you are going. It only covers if you get sick while you are over there. So, the travel insurance, once you get sick, once you are infecteded with zika, they will but, it wont cover you for, if that has it. John and a deal for Royal Caribbean and the cruise ships getting in on that. Bottom line, what should they do, book now, book often, book everywhere. Book now, deals are always now and dont be afraid, unless you are conceiving or, you know, looking to conceive you are completely safe and there is a lot of destinations, europe, alaska, the u. S. , even in the caribbean, where you can get some great deals and create memories with your family. John sounds good. Dont wait. John what is your web site. Www. On deck travel. Com.
