Show Notes

Set in the tense weeks following Hurricane Melissa, this investigative, journalistic three-chapter series tracks how Jamaica reopens its tourism engine under pressure. As airports resume flights and hotels restore operations, the country faces a narrow window to protect its economic lifeline without overstating recovery. Through verified data, on-the-ground reporting, and measured analysis, the story documents how more than three hundred thousand visitors return even as infrastructure, workers, and communities absorb lingering damage. The series avoids celebration and focuses instead on resilience tested by reality, exposing the costs, risks, and unresolved questions beneath the rebound.
