BARBADOS’ TOURISM is on the rebound, highlighted by record arrivals in December and last month.

Speaking at a news conference at Island Inn Hotel, BTMI chief executive officer William “Billy” Griffith said not only were officials happy that long-stay visitor arrivals grew by 2.2 per cent last year, but they were especially excited about the last two months of long stay visitor arrivals from major source markets. Overall arrivals are projected to increase by about five per cent this year.
