300 Health Care Workers Across The Region To Receive Complimentary Sandals Vacations

PRESS RELEASE (March 11, 2021): Sandals Resorts International, parent company to Beaches Turks and Caicos has announced its intention to gift 300 health care workers across the region with complimentary two-night stays at its award-winning all-inclusive resorts.

The gesture, according to the company’s Executive Chairman, Adam Stewart, is in recognition of the selfless efforts of health care workers across the region, who continue to exhibit admirable bravery and make tremendous sacrifices in the face of what has now become a year-long fight.

“Our health care workers have been our heroes throughout this pandemic,” Stewart said. “This has been an extremely difficult year for everyone but our heroes on the front lines and our healthcare workers in particular have demonstrated a level of perseverance and commitment that is awe-inspiring. This is our way of saying thank you and showing our appreciation for what we know has been a very difficult time. These vacations are well-deserved and we can’t wait to roll out the red carpet and pamper our heroes at our luxury-included resorts.”

The resort company will work closely with Ministries of Health in the seven islands where it operates to identify the beneficiaries of its latest act of generosity.  Representatives from the Turks and Caicos Islands’ Ministry of Health and Management at Beaches Turks and Caicos are already in talks about how to smoothly roll out the initiative. Permanent Secretary in said ministry Desiree Lewis, says it is a welcomed gesture.

“The gesture is truly appreciated. Thank you for recognizing our front line workers, this was unexpected, but much appreciated,” Lewis shared.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, the Sandals Group has consistently lent its support to the fight, supporting regional governments in their efforts to combat the disease and sharing its robust Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness document with regional travel and tourism associations and other resorts to assist in the safe reopening of the region’s tourism industry.

Speaking on the company’s consistent efforts, Stewart said, “This fight is not just for the Government. This is everyone’s fight. The private sector must join hands with the public sector so we can fight this pandemic together. We have all been affected by this pandemic and we continue to be affected one year later. This is everyone’s challenge and finding solutions should be everyone’s business. Sandals Resorts International remains committed to playing our part and we are thrilled to be able to extend this latest offer to our very deserving health care workers.”
