Jamaica has reopened for business after escaping serious damage from Hurricane Beryl.
The island’s all-important tourism sector has relaunched, with both airports and cruise ports now open again.
That includes Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport, Kingston’s Norman Manley International Airport and Ocho Rios’ Ian Fleming International Airport.
The country’s cruise ports in Montego Bay, Falmouth and Ocho Rios are all open once again.
“Jamaica is open for business and, once again, the resilience of the Jamaican people is on full display,” Jamaica Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett. “We are grateful that there has been no wide-scale impact to our general tourism infrastructure and our tourism industry is fully operational. Our message to our partners and visitors is Jamaica is ready for you, so come back to the destination you love.”
Jamaica has seen more than two million combined (air and sea) visitors this year so far, a record-breaking total for the destination.
“We are ready, willing, and more than able to welcome our guests back to our beautiful island,” said Donovan White, director of tourism for the Jamaica Tourist Board.
