Barbados is again officially open for tourism business, officials announced Friday as they predicted a major increase in airlift to the island by year-end after a year-long closure triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
And with the expected increase in airlift, a spike in occupancy levels across all categories of accommodation is also being forecast, according to Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA) Senator Rudy Grant.
He joined other leading tourism executives for a virtual ceremony to relaunch the Barbados brand and the reopening of the market.
