Travel Update: Hurricane report
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau is sending a delegation to London next week to tell people that it is business as usual in the city following Hurricane Andrew, which hit Florida at the end of last month.
While the number of package holidaymakers visiting Florida has not been affected, the state's tourist office reports that the number booking fly-drive holidays has fallen. 'People have got the wrong picture about Florida from the news reports,' said a spokesman for Florida's London office.
The delegation is keen to show that the city's tourist districts and Miami Beach were not badly affected by the storm. Of the main attractions, only Miami Zoo and Monkey Jungle are still closed.
A representative from the Florida Keys is also coming to London with the message that the Keys are open to tourists as normal.
