Carribbean Travel Advisory Alert Status

Hi All! I know some are currently planning destnation weddings and/or honeymoons in the Carribbean, which is super exciting, but there are currently some areas with heightened risks.

You've probably heard by now about the many cases of U.S. tourists traveling to the Caribbean only to end up victims of crime or seriously (and sometimes deathly) ill. The issues in the Dominican Republic come to mind. This isn't true of every area in the Carribean, so when planning, it may be useful to double check the safety of your destination to prepare for your trip the best way possible.

Business Insider put out an article on June 6, 2019 titled "The Risk of Traveling to Every Country in the Caribbean, according to the US State Department" that reports each travel advisory level assigned to each country or territory in the Carribean as of the date of the article, explains what the level means, gives details about issues in each particular country or territory and even tells you which areas to avoid due to reasons like increased criminal activity, for example, among others.

The article is a month old so you can go to the the U.S. Sate Department website for more up to date information.
