BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — Minister of Tourism, the Honourable Lindsay Grant, said his ministry is still actively pursuing the Ritz-Carlton Project. The Ritz-Carlton has been seeking to expand in the Caribbean region.

“What I can say with respect to the Ritz-Carlton is that we have been engaged with them for a very long time,” said Minister Grant during the Prime Minister’s Monthly Press Conference held at the National Emergency Management Agency Conference Room on January 14.

“I updated the Cabinet this week with respect to the Ritz-Carlton, and ongoing discussions and negotiations,” said Hon. Grant. “The Ritz-Carlton is a huge project; it’s a project that is destined to be over US $200 million and it is taking time.”

“Because of the pandemic, things have slowed, however, I am advised that very shortly we will be able to be in a position to come to the country and give some further details on that,” said Grant.

The Ritz-Carlton announced in 2018 that it will develop 10 villas and 15 condominiums that are sustainable and have responsible comfort in the St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC is an American multinational company that operates the Ritz-Carlton luxury hotel chain.
