Around 40 hotels remain closed on the island of Dominica since it was hit by Tropical Storm Erika last week.
Tourist officials on the island said 60 of its 100 hotels and resorts are currently operational, but advised visitors to check directly with their hotel to check the status of their properties and the surrounding infrastructure.
"Some hotels are beginning their annual September/October closure early in an effort to clean up and re-group for the busy autumn travel season," said a statement.
"We would like to thank the Caribbean community and others for the support we are receiving. We are saddened by the lives that were lost.
"We are dedicated to locating those who are still missing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all families, residents and visitors experiencing such tragic loss."
More than 30 people were killed in the storm and around 20 are still missing.
Strong winds, flooding and landslides destroyed hundreds of homes and the island has declared a state of emergency in some areas.
Its government has appealed for international aid and estimated that storm damage could set the country’s development back two decades.
According to today’s update for tourists, the L’ Express Des lles ferry service, which brings passengers from the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Lucia, is currently running and all sea ports remain open in operational.
But the island’s Douglas-Charles remains closed as crews clean up and assess the damage.
Canefield Airport is operational for helicopter and small aircraft and some airlines have changed schedules to link up with ferry services.
