A “tower of strength, dedication and success within the Caribbean Community”, said Managing Director of Jamaica Observer, Julian Rogers MBE, as he described the late Gordon “Butch” Stewart.
Stewart, 79, chairman of the ATL Group of Companies which includes the Jamaican media company, Sandals and Beaches resorts, died in Miami, Florida, on Monday.
His son, Adam, confirmed his passing in a statement, which read, “It is with great sadness that I share with you today the passing of my father, Gordon “Butch” Stewart. This news seems almost unbelievable, since he was as involved and forward-thinking as ever. He chose to keep a very recent health diagnosis private and we respected that wish.
Master Plan for Tourism underway
The COVID-19 pandemic has crippled economies worldwide, and Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism sector is no exception.
Tourism Minister Charles “Max” Fernandez confirmed that meetings have been underway to decide how the sector can bounce back from the COVID-19 shock.
“We have to shift our focus and come up with a whole new product and a whole new way of defining our product,” he confirmed.
According to Fernandez, the focus will be on air, cruise and yachting. “Air is still in a situation where things change weekly, daily, hourly sometimes, so we have to be proactive and responsive and plan ahead,” he said.
Investigation launched into airline that made risky diversion
An airline is under investigation for circumventing Antigua and Barbuda’s travel policy when it boarded a number of passengers from the Dominican Republic (DR) without declaring it to the Immigration authority on arrival into VC Bird International Airport.
Tourism Minister Charles “Max” Fernandez said the flight had been recorded as coming from the British Virgin Islands (BVI) when it actually originated from the DR.
“The persons came in with flight plans amended and that should not have been, and I know that that is something the authorities are looking into,” he told Observer, adding, “I don’t know what the repercussions will be, but I know that the investigations are ongoing”.
