The restoration of hundreds of jobs is a significant positive for Negril's economy, and their resilience is admirable. However, the true measure of success should also include how these large resorts contribute to the long-term development and empowerment of the local population beyond just service roles.

It's commendable that they've reopened and enhanced guest amenities, which will boost tourism. Yet, one hopes that the 'commitment to the region' also extends to sustainable practices that protect Jamaica's natural beauty, which attracts tourists in the first place.

They'll just get damaged again. Is this truly sustainable?

While it's great that jobs have been restored and the resort is operational again, it's important to consider if the restoration included measures to make it more resilient to future severe weather events, or if it's just a temporary fix.
