Not every island in the Caribbean was damaged by the hurricanes of September. June Wright, a marketing consultant for SeaGarden Beach Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, wants her NTA colleagues to know that the 140-room, all-inclusive property is operating as normal.
“I hasten to assure you that the countries in the Western Caribbean, including Jamaica, were spared from the ravaging effects of the bad weather,” Wright says. “Our location makes us a safe haven that is impacted only when storms originate off the West African coast and pass over the Gulf of Mexico.”
Wright says that Jamaica’s primary market is the United States, where many people mistakenly believe that the entire Caribbean was affected by the hurricanes. As a result, the hotel has been less crowded than normal during the fall season.
Wright is quick to add that the staff of SeaGarden sympathizes with the plight of Caribbean residents and businesses that did not escape storm damage.
