The public falling-out between the country\u2019s prime minister and Sandals has in some way impacted on the resort.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Adam Stewart, chief executive officer (CEO) said, however, the company will still continue to promote the country and not make negative comments impact visitor arrivals to the country and the resort.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will impact Sandals, people will ask questions. You know we have 23 hotels in nine islands and seven countries across the Caribbean. People may hesitate, they may say they would rather stay away for the time being, even people who are loyal and who have been coming year after year until this squabble,\u201d Stewart said.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Stewart said he recently met with 2,500 travel agents in Canada to educate them on what the island has to offer and its attractions.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He noted that there were some questions about \u201cthis ridiculous dispute\u201d but that did not stop him from doing his part in ensuring that the country has an excellent winter season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stewart said the fallout will always have some residual effect, but Sandals \u201cis not the one being damaged right now , the island of Antigua is the one feeling the brunt of this blow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Stewart noted Sandals is in the business to promote tourism and to train and develop people who work with the company and it will continue to do so to mitigate a greater fallout.<\/span><\/p>\n
