New York, New York, November 20, 2008 - The tiny idyllic island of Little Cayman is ready to receive visitors again post-Paloma. Beginning today, with the reopening of Southern Cross Club and Little Cayman Beach Resort and the resumption of regular flight schedules with Cayman Airways Express, the island is open for business. Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman Islands, continues to welcome guests to its sun drenched shores and pristine turquoise waters. Having felt few effects from Hurricane Paloma, as the system passed 30 miles to the east of Grand Cayman on November 8, the island is busily receiving guests at air and sea ports. Though Paloma packed strong winds and heavy rain, Little Cayman escaped relatively unscathed and the main issue for resorts and residents has been the restoration of power.

Also expected to reopen in the coming days is Head O' Bay guest house, Pirates Point, and Paradise Villas. Together with Southern Cross Club and Little Cayman Beach Resort, these resorts represent the majority of room stock on the island. The Conch Club Condominiums and The Club will reopen in December. On Grand Cayman, guests are beckoned by the crystal clear seas, white sand beaches, balmy temperatures and world-class dining, Scuba diving, and accommodations. Cayman Brac was directly impacted by the storm and sustained significant damage. Tourism properties there are undergoing assessment and recovery efforts. As assessments are completed, updates will be provided on the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism's website: www.caymanislands.ky. Visitors with plans to travel to the Sister Islands should contact their travel professional or the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism at 1-877-4CAYMAN.
