800 back to work as Bahia Principe hotel reopens after Melissa damage

Some 800 workers are back on the job with the reopening of Bahia Principe in Runaway Bay, St Ann. The resumption of operations, following the property’s closure due to Hurricane Melissa last October, sees 664 rooms returning to Jamaica's tourism accommodation stock. The resort reopened on Wednesday, marked by a ceremony. Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, in his remarks, stated that the reopening of Bahia Principe marks a significant step forward in Jamaica's journey toward full tourism recovery following the Category Five hurricane.
