March 11, 2021 One of Barbados’ leading hoteliers is sounding the alarm that two of his hotels could close in the coming months for an indefinite period and that Barbados could continue to witness a very depressed tourism product if steps are not urgently taken to ease COVID-19 measures and ensure improvements in the tourism industry by this November. Gordon Seale, owner of the 130-room all-inclusive Sugar Bay Barbados Beach Resort and the over 100-room Bougainvillea Beach Resort, suggested that there needed to be some easing of the protocols soon including the length of time a visitor was required to wait in quarantine for the results of a second COVID-19 test.
