Nassau and Paradise Island are “open for business” following Hurricane Matthew, according to the popular Bahamian destination’s promotion board.
The destination is now welcoming guests following last week’s storm, which pummeled much of the Bahamas with heavy rain and wind.
“Member hotels and resorts were well-prepared for the storm and sustained minimal damage. Clean-up efforts began immediately following the storm’s passing on Friday and Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) reopened on Saturday with all airlines having now resumed their normal schedules,” the board said in a statement.
The destination’s largest resort, Atlantis, is open and receiving guests, after sustaining “minimal impact” due to the storm. The Cove at Atlantis is closed but set to reopen on Wednesday.
The Bahamas will be embarking on a major recovery effort after sustaining what Prime Minister Perry Christie called “utterly devastating” impact.
