Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has earned top honors as the world's leading all-inclusive resort at the 2025 Travvy Awards, with Tourism Minister Carlos James describing the recognition as historic validation for the Caribbean destination. The property has maintained exceptional occupancy rates and guest feedback since launching operations, while creating substantial employment and procurement opportunities for local suppliers, including agricultural producers and craftspeople.
James welcomed Sandals Resorts International's commitment to develop an additional Beaches property targeting family travelers, characterizing the expansion as evidence of investor confidence in the government tourism strategy. The minister credited collaboration between national authorities and the resort operator for establishing a development framework that other destinations could emulate, noting that enhanced air connectivity and visitor infrastructure will support long-term industry growth across the mainland and surrounding islands.
