Hurricane Fiona, a category 4 hurricane, passed roughly 75 miles to the west of Bermuda, last Thursday and early Friday, giving the island a healthy dose of wind and rain. Bermudians were well prepared. They have dealt with weather events of this magnitude for more than four centuries, and as a result there has been minimal disruption to the island’s infrastructure. With clean-up already underway, Bermuda has now reopened for business.

The L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), as well as the causeway (the main road serving the airport), are both open as are all Bermuda Visitor Services Centres. Ferry service throughout the island was restored on Saturday.

Bermuda’s hotel properties are operational and ready to welcome guests. The Bermuda Tourism Authority does encourage visitors currently in Bermuda or those with upcoming travel plans to contact their travel providers, local tour operators, and businesses directly to inquire about any potential changes in their operations.

“Bermuda is ready to host visitors and groups already booked to visit this weekend and into the fall season,” said Tracy Berkeley, the Bermuda Tourism Authority’s interim CEO. “Thank you to all of the residents for their hard work and resilience as we welcome visitors to our island once again.”

Hurricane Fiona’s passing has not disrupted planned on-island events. When asked, BTA’s VP of Experiences, Tashae Thompson said, “Bermuda has a robust fall calendar, and we look forward to welcoming all guests.”
