Hoteliers in Barbados are seeing strong bookings for Christmas and New Year’s.

Chairman of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association, Javon Griffith, tells Starcom Network News the winter season has been performing well with hotels reporting over 70 percent occupancy.

Mr. Griffith was pleased with what he says was the smooth operation at the airport last Saturday, which was the busiest travel day so far this season with more than eight thousand passengers.
