WESTERN BUREAU: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says the planned construction of a new St Regis Hotel in Bull Bay in St Andrew is among the more than US$1 billion in potential tourism investments that have withstood the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Bartlett made the disclosure following a tour of the Chukka Ocean Outpost facility at Sandy Bay, Hanover, yesterday. “It is a Jamaican investor from Wall Street who is coming to see us, and he has bought the property already. It is 250 acres overall, and it is going to border St Thomas and St Andrew, and it will become the first of the developments in the new destination of St Thomas that we have just created,” added Bartlett, who did not give an estimated date for the start of construction.
