zika word is getting out throughout miami beach and the hotel operatives and restauranters, they're concerned about labor day coming and they're concerned about foreign visitors, they make up half of everybody who visit here on south beach.

here and going here, this was before i went to rio. the ex tension of the cluster area to miami beach is a blow to the $24.4 billion tourism industry. they've seen what the zika scare has done to wynwood. it's crippled traffic into the
arts and entertainment district. now, zika transmission in the heart of miami beach where half of the hotel rooms are located. it's alarming for the simple fact that i'm pregnant. the zika story is national and international news with the
cdc issuing a travel warning for pregnant women. the news traveled fast, but it not slow folks on the beach. i know it's spreading around and everything, we can't let that dictate your life, you have to live. that's the visitors, how
