Dotun Adebayo

Available for over a year

UK passengers on some long-haul flights are set to pay less tax following a revamp of Air Passenger Duty (APD). The two highest of the four APD tax bands are to be scrapped, the chancellor announced. The reforms mean passengers on long-haul flights to the Caribbean islands will pay a lower tax rate from 2015. But what impact will the move have on travel to the Caribbean? In this clip, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Dotun Adebayo speaks to Richard Sealey, the Minister of Tourism and International Transport in Barbados.
