Summary:

Eighteen months after Cyclone Pam struck Vanuatu, the economy continues to recover from the cyclone’s extensive damages. Reconstruction efforts are beginning to yield positive results, allowing increasing use of Port Vila’s international airport, the reopening of damaged hotels, and the return of tourists to the islands. These encouraging developments augur well for a full recovery in the near future.
