The State Department has eased its travel advisory for Jamaica, but still wants Americans to be careful while visiting the popu
lar Caribbean destination.
On Thursday, the travel advisory was lowered to Level 2 or "exercise increased caution." Jamaica had been listed as Level 3 or "reconsider travel," due to crime and health-care concerns.
The change comes two months after Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Jamaica and pledged to re-evaluate its travel notice. The highest possible advisory level is Level 4 or "do not travel."
"We take seriously our commitment to provide U.S. citizens with clear, timely, and reliable information about every country in the world so they can make informed travel decisions," a State Department spokesperson previously told USA TODAY. "The Department of State routinely updates our Travel Advisories and destination information pages based on a comprehensive review of all available safety information and ongoing developments."
