"Navigating Travel Safety: Jamaica, Bahamas, and Mexico 2024 Advisory"

The U.S. State Department has issued a level three travel advisory for Jamaica due to surges in crime and lacking medical services, urging travelers to reconsider their plans. Wisconsinites planning vacations should be aware of the four levels of travel advisories and consider obtaining traveler's insurance, including medical evacuation insurance, as U.S. health insurance is often not accepted in Jamaica. Additionally, the State Department advises signing up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, reviewing country security reports, and preparing a contingency plan for emergencies when traveling abroad. Nonstop flights from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport to destinations like Cancun and San Diego are also available for those still making vacation plans.
