What are the chances of a tropical storm affecting one particular destination during hurricane season? Do we cancel travel plans during hurricane season?
VISIT FLORIDA clearly understands that some people have concerns about the possible impact a hurricane could have on a planned vacation. Any tropical system affecting the location where one plans to vacation makes that year notable. However, the odds of that happening are low. Rather, the odds are tropical storms and hurricanes will bypass most areas potentially at risk. VISIT FLORIDA suggests when making travel plans during hurricane season, visitors check with airlines, hotels, car rental, etc. to find out how they inform their guests when a hurricane is coming, what actions they plan and what refund policies they have in place. Once again, it is important to point out a direct hit by a major hurricane is an extremely rare event.
