Word on the street – Christmas visitors edition

This week on Word on the Street, we hit the streets to ask tourists how they plan to spend their time in Cayman – and whether duty-free shopping is one of the things drawing them back.

Santa Claus has come to town!

Santa Claus came to George Town at the weekend and delighted hundreds of children who queued to see the festive season’s main man.

And Santa, accompanied by Mrs. Claus, arrived in style standing in the back of a red pick-up truck at Airport Park for the traditional meet and greet.

Opal Henry, the president of Kiwanis Club Grand Cayman, which organises the annual Santa Landing event, said, the magic of Santa never failed to excite the crowds.

“I have a two-year-old and children have great imaginations,” she said. “They’re very excited by it and want to see and take a picture with Santa.”
