The Government of St Vincent and the Grenadines continues its quest in increasing the number of hotel rooms on the island.
Gonsalves at a press conference earlier this week noted that plans for a 250 room hotel were on the agenda of his Government.
To this end, Gonsalves met with the Founder of the Melia Hotel Group, Gabriel Escarrer on Wednesday at the Argyle International Airport.
Meliá Hotels International, S.A. (formerly Sol Meliá) is a Spanish hotel chain which was founded by Gabriel Escarrer Juliá in 1956 in Palma de Mallorca.
It is also known as and referred to by its former name of Sol Meliá. The company is one of Spain’s largest domestic operators of holiday resorts and the 17th biggest hotel chain worldwide.
Domestically in Spain, the company is the market leader in both resort and urban hotels. Currently, the hotel chain operates 374 hotels in 40 countries on four continents under the brands Meliá.
Escarrer said that his company is seeking ways to increase tourist arrivals on the island, and gave his full commitment to such venture.
