As the Caribbean begins to reopen to international travelers, it faces not just the challenge of the pandemic, but also the financial blow dealt by the absence of cruise ships and the onset of hurricane season. And as countries reopen, most are mandating face masks indoors and social distancing.

“We’re not fooling ourselves. We fully expect to see a slow return of travel,” said Frank Comito, the chief executive and director general of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association, which represents 33 national hotel associations in the region. “We expect those that do open up in the coming months will take some time to see hotel occupancy levels even approach 50 percent.”

As governments have clarified their policies, airlines — including American, Delta, JetBlue and Southwest — plan to resume service to many Caribbean destinations in July. When they do, they’ll be flying into a hurricane season that @noaa predicted could be above normal.

But Caribbean nations hope to salvage a summer season before the peak of storm season in September. “We’re hoping to get going in June, July and August to give the economy an injection we need and then hopefully get through hurricane season,” said Joseph Boschulte, the commissioner of tourism for the United States Virgin Islands.
