Dorian Impact Status – September 2, 2019, 11:00 a.m.

Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Eastern Caribbean quickly returned to normal following the passage of then Tropical Storm Dorian. Except for the main islands of Grand Bahama, Abaco and its Cays in The Bahamas, which has experienced severe damage, the entire Caribbean is fully open for business. Nassau and Paradise Islands have escaped a direct hit from the storm and all hotels are open which are usually open at this time, as is the Linden Pindling International Airport.

We have been in constant contact with officials from The Bahamas and are awaiting word on the best mechanisms for channeling immediate emergency assistance. CHTA is activating a long-term recovery initiative which we plan to have in place by tomorrow. Details on how you can support immediate emergency relief efforts will be provided as soon as we’ve received them from the Bahamas Hotel and Tourism Association, which is working with the Government of The Bahamas on the coordination of relief efforts.
