Four Seasons Expanding in the Caribbean after 20 Years on Nevis

An executive of the Four Seasons hotel chain said after 20 years on Nevis the hotel chain was expanding its business in the Caribbean because of the strong market the region offered.

Regional Vice President of the Four Seasons and local General Manager of the Resort in Nevis, Andrew Humphries made the disclosure during a recent interview with the Department of Information.

The construction of a property in Barbados had commenced in 2009 but Humphries explained there had been some delays with that project and work was expected to move forward shortly.

They have also looked at projects in the US Virgin Islands in many different places not all of them came to fruition, the Regional Vice President said but they were always interested in talking to investors.

“That’s something we are very focused on at the moment. I am pleased to say the Resort, through employee donations and different efforts including a special deal for guests on the golf course, we have raised over $11,800 for Haiti Relief.

“That’s part of a global effort worldwide by Four Seasons they have raised well over $150,000 which would be going to the American Red Cross. They are on the ground there they know best how to help our neighbors in Haiti,” he explained.

He said they were mindful that Nevis suffered from hurricanes and these types of natural disasters occurred in the region.

“We know that in Nevis we suffer here from hurricanes and these kind of things can happen to us and we very much hope we will have good neighbors should anything untoward like that in Nevis but we are very focused on that as an international effort,” he said.
