Lee told a gathering of tourism stakeholders, including Tourism Commissioner Roy Marlin, Wednesday evening that the housing slowdown in the United States, the island’s largest source market, would affect spending. “My concern is that the weakening US economy may lead to more conservative spending patterns and that may affect discretionary spending on luxuries like vacations to the Caribbean.” "
