The first boat with tourists, of a total of 62, is scheduled to arrive on 29 September and the sector's businesses are concerned that the $10 tax will not be abolished in time.

In May the government promised the leaders of the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) that the tax would be eliminated.

"Last week the association sent a letter to the president of Congress, Roberto Alejos, to try to speed up the process but no response was received," reports Prensalibre.com.
