New York, NY, September 28, 2004 -
Two weeks ago, destructive Hurricane Ivan left behind a damage trail in the Cayman Islands not previously seen in more than 80 years. The largest of its trio of islands, Grand Cayman, suffered the most loss where the damage was significant and many inhabitants were left temporarily homeless. As efforts quickly turn from relief to recovery to rebuilding on Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, the famed "Sister Islands," are open for business.
The Sister Islands, known for their world-class diving, majestic nature tourism features and its tranquil atmosphere, have historically complemented Grand Cayman's busy charm. In the aftermath of Ivan, they continue as the flagships of the Cayman Islands tourism industry
"While Grand Cayman is busy cleaning up and rebuilding, both Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are busy welcoming visitors and accommodating re-located residents for much needed rest and relaxation" said Pilar Bush, Acting Director of Tourism. "With the availability of hotels and condos on the Sister Islands, a modest but effective international air schedule into Grand Cayman and reliable inter-island air service, the Cayman Islands is able and willing to receive guests on two of its three islands," she continued.
Hurricane Ivan did leave minimal damage to some of the resorts on the Sister Islands. Little Cayman Beach Resort Paradise Villas, Southern Cross Club and Pirates Point Resort on Little Cayman reported damages to some rooms and property facilities and are currently being repaired and will be completely open in late October.
Cayman Brac's properties - Brac Caribbean and Carib Sands, Brac Reef Beach Resort, Divi Tiara Beach Resort and Cayman Breakers reported light damage, but are open for business.
"We are all pleased that Government of the Cayman Islands and the Immigration Department have lifted travel restrictions to the Sister Islands, as we are ready to receive guests," stated Moses Kirkconnell, Director of Marketing for Cayman Airways.
Cayman Brac offers the country's most dramatic scenery. Visitors can experience the breathtaking view on its spectacular bluff, explore the enticing caves and sinkholes, and wander through the woodlands filled with exotic flowers and plants and revel in some of the world's best bird watching.
Little Cayman is the smallest and least developed of the three islands. Its 10 flat square miles of unspoiled surroundings are a nature lover's dream, complete with more than a dozen secluded beaches on a mostly undeveloped coastline, lagoons, mangrove forests, salt ponds and tropical forests strewn with orchids.
