Caribbean Countries Make Push at Cruise Shipping Miami Conference

Countries from across the wider Caribbean region descended upon Miami Beach, Fla. this week for the annual Cruise Shipping Miami conference.

From small-port islands to larger, more established cruise hubs, the Caribbean was well represented, with a large contingent at the Miami Beach Convention Centre.

Local dancers from the United States Virgin Islands stole the show, drawing convention-goers from around the floor to watch their carnival-style show.

The Miami-based event is one of the premier events in an industry that is among the largest single-drivers of the Caribbean economy.
