Public Relations Manager with Sandals Barbados, David Hinds says greater effort will be made during this year to attract more locals to the resort.
He disclosed this during an interview with this publication on the side-lines of Saturday’s Old Year’s Night Gala at the all-inclusive hotel.
He stated, “You will see going forward we are doing a lot more things to get locals involved. Our day passes, our dinner passes, we want to push that even stronger to get more people into Sandals [to] see exactly what we do and how we do it so well.”
Hinds pointed out that thus far there has been a high level of interest being shown by locals in the hotel and persons are opting to have their wedding and other special events there.
“In our…two years since we reopened this property we have been blown away by the response by the public towards the brand and the interest, the short stays, the day passes, the dinner passes even the weekends and so on, we have some guests. Weddings are taking off, we have a lot of local weddings, I am very happy about that. Generally, we are just really happy about what we are seeing so far and for 2017, this is just the beginning, we want to take it to the next level.”
Speaking more about things to come at the St. Lawrence Gap situated property, Hinds said the hotel is “really excited” it is “going to open next door another 223 rooms.” (MG)
