TORONTO — The Canadian government has officially lowered Jamaica’s travel advice status to ‘yellow’ across the island, marking a return to pre-Hurricane Melissa status and conditions.

This change signals the Canadian Governments confidence in Jamaica’s recovery and readiness to welcome Canadian travellers to its sunny and sandy shores, said the Jamaica Tourist Board.

The JTB added that with the Canadian government signalling confidence in Jamaica’s safety and readiness, “travel operators and agents can reengage potential customers with a strong value proposition for this destination.”

The JTB also noted that Jamaica’s hotels, resorts, and local operators have been hard at work restoring services and enhancing visitor experiences, ensuring the destination is fully equipped to meet demand.

“This is a pivotal moment for Jamaica’s tourism recovery. The updated travel advisory underscores the island’s resilience and the hard work of our industry partners to ensure travellers can visit with confidence,” said Angella Bennett, Regional Director for Canada at the Jamaica Tourist Board.

“Canadians have always been some of our most enthusiastic visitors, and now is the perfect time to welcome Canadians back to the island,” added Bennett.
