The Cayman Islands are considering the use of daylight saving time for the first time. The government is inviting public comment through October 30. Arguments for DST include better synchronization with New York financial markets as well as stimulating tourism. See: Ministry of Financial Services, Commerce & Environment, Cayman Islands Government. Introduction of daylight savings time in the Cayman Islands. 2014-09-15. http://www.dci.gov.ky/pls/portal/url/item/0322D04AF1235B50E0506F0A6F1F5D58
The Cayman Island Chamber of Commerce survey results are in, and 63 of 113 (56%) of respondents surveyed supported DST. The Cayman Islands government seems to be favoring DST, under the argument that it will benefit the islands' financial and tourism sectors. The government says it will decide by the end of this year, with DST coming into effect as soon as 2015. Markoff A. Gov’t backs daylight saving, but not Sunday trading.
