It’s been more than one month since Jamaica reopened to international tourism with heightened health and safety protocols in place across the island and as the country’s recovery moves along, more airlines and accommodations are resuming operations and welcoming guests back safely.
On Friday, the Jamaica Tourist Board published an updated list of the flight service and accommodations available to visitors this summer.
Currently, all visitors to Jamaica are required to register for a Travel Authorization no more than five days prior to arrival. Additionally, as of July 15, leisure travelers coming from high-risk states including Florida, New York, Arizona and Texas are required to complete their Travel Authorization questionnaire no less than two days and no more than five days prior to arrival. Travelers from these states will also be required to include proof of a negative PCR (nasal swab) COVID-19 test result taken within 10 days of arrival.
Hotel guests can anticipate contactless digital check-in, hand sanitizer stations, digital or single-use menus and social distancing markers throughout the properties. What’s more, hotels and resorts have done away with self-service buffets.
Below you’ll find a roundup of the latest flight schedules from major carriers along with a list of properties that have received their COVID-19 compliant certificate.
