Ernesto style hurricanes not deterring travelers

Thursday, 31 August 20063 min read

Will more hurricanes such as the recent Ernesto discourage travelers?

Probably not, if you believe a survey by TripAdvisor.

It found 89% of 3,000 travelers said their plans are not affected by predictions of a busy hurricane season this fall.

More than half planned to visit hurricane susceptible destinations and another 57% planned to visit the Caribbean, which had a plethora of storms last year.

What disasters do travelers fear the most?

Earthquakes were mentioned by one third, followed by tsunamis.

Hurricanes trailed at 14%.
