Episode 25 -Storms, Stranded, and Standing Strong: Jamaica's Recovery and What Travelers Can Learn
Description
In this powerful 25th episode of Checked Bags and Big Tags, Sean and Ilisa take listeners to Jamaica in the aftermath of the recent hurricane that left much of the island reeling. We'll look at how resorts rose to the challenge to protect their guests, how travel advisors became lifelines for stranded travelers, and what this storm revealed about responsibility and respect in travel. We'll also confront uncomfortable truths—like the travelers who knowingly flew into danger and the airlines accused of price gouging—and discuss how the travel community can do better. Finally, we'll share ways you can make a difference in Jamaica's recovery through organizations like the Sandals Foundation and World Central Kitchen.
Because travel isn't just about where you go—it's about how you show up.
*The episode is accurate as of October 30, 3035 - information about conditions in Jamaica is continuously changing.
