St. Lucia Prime Minister Allen Chastanet also weighs in on these challenges. Carlos Vogeler, Executive Director of the World Tourism Organization, discusses the key issues facing the tourism industry and how they are trying to lead the charge in preparing for the threat of disasters from natural causes, pandemic crises, or even the problem of overtourism.
