Bridgetown Cruise Terminals, the company that has been running the cruise ship facility at the Barbados Port for many years, goes out of business at the end of the year as the operations revert to the control of port management.
The announcement was made by CEO of the Terminal, Geoffrey Roach, at the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association’s quarterly general meeting today.
He disclosed that he was therefore stepping down as BHTA Chairman.
Mr. Roach noted that cruise ships have started to return to Barbados but only at fifty percent capacity.
As a result the recovery of the cruise sector is much slower than land-based tourism.
