Over 2,500 guests attended the magnificent pre-opening launch of Buccament Bay Resort on 24th & 25th April 2010 at Wembley Stadium.
The Bobby Moore suite hosted the event and accommodated stands from each of the key brands created by Harlequin Hotels & Resorts for their Caribbean developments. Many of the team behind the resorts attended and Harlequin’s Ambassador, Sports & Radio Broadcaster and ex-footballer Andy Townsend, compered the event and introduced the speakers.
Andy began by talking about teamwork, something he knows a lot about. He said that “the team at Harlequin is like a football team. When you all work together the common cause is often achieved”.
The Prime Minister of St Vincent & The Grenadines, the Rt Hon Ralph Gonsalves, was unable to attend due to travel difficulties caused by the ash situation, so he sent a statement which was read out by Cenio Lewis, High Commissioner for St Vincent & The Grenadines. In the statement he said
“Statement by Prime Minister Dr. The Honorable Ralph E. Gonsalves on the occasion of the launch of Buccament Bay Resort, St. Vincent & The Grenadines by Harlequin Hotels & Resorts at Wembley Stadium on April 24th & 25th 2010. Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I greet this launch of Buccament Bay Resort with pleasure and happiness. I am most sorry that a confluence of circumstances has made it not possible for me to be with you physically. I assure you that I am, nevertheless, with you in a joyous spirit. The Buccament Bay Resort is simply magnificent.
The Harlequin group has been doing a splendid job in creating what promises to be, on completion, among the best tropical resorts in the world. The partnership between Harlequin and my Government had been excellent. So too, have Harlequin’s relations with the local community in Buccament and St Vincent & The Grenadines as a whole. The workers on the building site have been delivering high quality finishing.
St Vincent & The Grenadines is one of the safest destinations for tourists, anywhere in the world. It is also the natural place to be. Our people are truly hospitable and we are grateful for the investment by the Harlequin group and their associates. By June 2012, an international airport of the finest standard will be opened for air traffic to and from St Vincent & The Grenadines. Before then, there is good air access through our other airports.
My Government again hereby re-commits itself to its partnership with Harlequin. I am absolutely sure that Buccament Bay Resort will be a tremendous success for tourists, investors and the people of St Vincent & the Grenadines. On behalf of the Government and the people of St Vincent & the Grenadines, I heartily and sincerely congratulate Harlequin on this Launch.
