Barbados is about to get an additional influx of Canadian visitors through a new WestJet service that will start in November with four flights per week from Toronto, Canada, and cheaper fares than its competitors. What adds to the soundness of this projection is the fact that the Canadian dollar continues to outperform the US dollar against which the Barbados currency is pegged. Minister of Tourism, Richard Sealy told Barbados Business Authority this service should excite everyone in the tourism sector. Moreover, Sealy noted that the new service would bring a level of competition for Air Canada which has been having their way with it for some time.
