Quotable Caribbean – August 6, 2017

“The world is becoming smaller, in the way we all think about it. Millennials think nothing about getting on a plane and going to Europe for the weekend. … so, as the world becomes smaller, smaller airports have a great opportunity to raise their flag and be recognized as a great place to go.” – Kim Day, Chief Executive Officer, Denver International Airport
