Tourism and airline operators are deploying their best efforts to coordinate the departure of tourists in the wake of Cyclone Belal and to welcome those who have just arrived. Excursions and visits have also resumed.
Public transport is back in operation. Essential services such as water and electricity have largely been restored. The authorities are also busy cleaning up the entire island. No incidents have been reported by tourist operators, whose priority throughout has been to ensure the safety of guests.
