This was on Fox several day ago, last week...that's a direct quote, the reporter used the word, 'hemorrhaging' referring to the Aruban tourist trade. It wasn't a local Aruban reporter, but someone from Fox, a US reporter. Then, the next night, an Aruban reporter was on, looking bright eyed and bushytailed, saying everything was fine, hotels were booked, no vacancies, nobody cancelling. Clearly this was an attempt to salvage or whitewash what was reported the night before.

All you'd have to do is go to applevacations.com or funjet.com and see what kinds of specials they're offering to Aruba. If the prices are very low, then there's a good chance they are hurting. Of course, the rates would already be somewhat lower due to it being hurricane season.

If this is so surely it would be in print somewhere. Where did the Fox reporter get his info. This would be a big story, in print somewhere.
