The government of Jamaica put together a preliminary National Needs List and a tool for donations to rebuild the country safely. The best support besides money is to put Jamaica on your future travel list. Travel agents should put Jamaica at the top of their promotional lists once the country is ready to welcome visitors again.

Jamaica, the country with a trademark of resilience, has been hit by Hurricane Melissa, a category five hurricane that brought a serious threat to the lives and livelihoods of Jamaicans.

In its aftermath, recovery will take every helping hand. The global travel and tourism industry, along with the people behind it, can stand ready with the Jamaican government to protect families and help them recover, rebuild homes, and restore livelihoods once the storm passes.

Support the People of Jamaica through Donation Now

The government of Jamaica put together a preliminary National Needs List and a tool for donations to rebuild the country safely. Within minutes after the disaster, many new charities were established, but the legitimacy of some is questionable. When donating to the Hurricane Melissa Relief, the funds go to the Government of Jamaica for distribution.

Visit Jamaica When The Country Reopens – Tourism Jamaica’s Lifeline

Jamaica will remain beautiful and different from any other tourism destination. Once the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, gives the green light, the best the travel and tourism industry can do is push Visit Jamaica or plan an event in the country of Raegge.

The best anyone can do is spend money in Hawaii by getting on a plane and enjoying the beaches, the music, the food, and the smiles of the people of Jamaica, many of whom rely on this travel and tourism industry to survive. The best companies can do it by awarding their staff with an incentive trip to Jamaica.
