Rosewood into Barbados?
The new Barbados tourism minister, the Honorable Richard Sealy, paid a visit to New York recently to give an update on what’s happening with the island’s infrastructure.
“We’ve already started restructuring the agency to expand the mandate of greater investment,” Sealy said, who said the goal is to increase the number of branded hotels on Barbados. “The Hilton is the only branded hotel on the island and does well with U.S. market,” said Sealy, who hinted that there will be “tangible news the month after next.”
While nothing’s been announced yet, we hear that Rosewood may indeed be the next luxury brand to enter the island’s market, which we feel would give Sandy Lane a good run for its money. What we can confirm is that The Four Seasons has already been announced for a 2010 opening on the west end of Barbados.
