Jamaica: Normalcy restored after Hurricane Matthew

Normalcy has returned to the island’s tourism sector after Jamaica was spared the brunt of Hurricane Matthew. The system, which did not make landfall in Jamaica, is now making its way along the western coast of Haiti. This as the Meteorological Service of Jamaica has indicated that though Matthew remains a Category 4 system the tropical storm warning has been discontinued, as the system is no longer considered a threat to the island. They have underscored that severe flooding is less likely today as the system moves further away from Jamaica.


鉴于马修飓风的威胁程度有所降低,防灾与应急管理办公室(ODPEM)已将国家应急行动中心(NEOC)的活动范围缩小到1级。 因此,位于牙买加飞马酒店的旅游应急业务中心(TEOC)现在已停用。

桑斯特国际机场继续正常运营,而诺曼·曼利国际机场于今天中午恢复正常运营。 所有海港也将于今天下午3:00重新开放,而游轮计划于5月XNUMX日明天抵达港口。

在赞扬旅游伙伴在旅游部长马修(Matthew)逝世期间保持警惕。 埃德蒙·巴特利特(Edmund Bartlett)强调说:“由于牙买加旅馆和旅游协会(JHTA)概述了旅游活动已恢复正常,因为没有关于损害旅游实体的报道,所有旅游合作伙伴都恢复了正常运营。”

“今天所有政府部门,部门和机构在上午10:00重新开放,当地企业也恢复正常运营,正常状态也将恢复到更广泛的经济中。” 今天,公共交通系统也已恢复有限服务。 因此,牙买加绝对可以开业。”他补充说。
