Jamaica is rapidly restoring its tourism sector after Hurricane Melissa, aiming for near-full operations by December 15 as hotels, airports and attractions reopen across the island.
Hurricane Melissa left at least 49 dead across the northern Caribbean and billions in damage. As search-and-rescue efforts intensify, airlines, cruise lines, and hotels mobilize aid while cautiously restoring operations.
Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm of 2025, has caused widespread destruction across Jamaica and Cuba, grounding flights, shutting ports, and displacing hundreds of thousands.
Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a major Category 4 storm and is set to hit Jamaica and neighbouring islands, triggering mass cancellations and travel disruptions across the Caribbean.
