THIRTY-TWO HOTELS have taken advantage of the provisions in the amended Tourism Development Act and undergone multimillion-dollar renovations and refurbishments.

Sealy said the renovation of the 18-room boutique property, which had won tourism awards in the past, was an example to be followed.
Addressing an audience made up primarily of tourism officials and staff of Yellow Bird, the minister said while the investment from international hotel brands was good for attracting foreign investment into the tourism industry, domestic investment remained critically important.
