Jamaica has topped 55,000 visitors since reopening tourism in the wake of the hurricane, officials said this week.
On July 2 and July 3, no tourists arrived in Jamaica, with the storm largely shutting down the island.
In the first week after reopening, the destination topped 55,000 arrivals, according to Jamaica Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett.
“This is what resilience looks like. We can assure the world that 80% of our assets are intact, and we are ready to welcome you. Our visitors returned because they had confidence in our promises, knowing the integrity behind them,” he said.
