The Huffington Post  |  By Lisa_Mille

You’d think that travelers would stay far away from the Caribbean during summer’s peak hurricane season.

But users of the website MissTravel.com have booked 20,000 non-domestic trips for the month of August — prime time for hurricanes — with the majority of the destinations located in the Caribbean, according to a press release.

This year, hurricane season has been largely uneventful so far. So rather than being a cause for concern, the unpredictable weather is drawing in budget-conscious vacationers with last-minute deals.
