What the numbers say
In 2026, Haiti has 20 nationwide public holidays and Jamaica has 10, so Haiti gets 10 more days off. They line up on 4 dates, including Jour de l'an, Mercredi Des Cendres, Vendredi saint and Noël.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Haiti has 15 on working days (5 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Jamaica (3 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Haiti offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 6 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Jamaica offers 4 and 2. Haiti has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in Haiti and April in Jamaica.
