Ninety percent of high-end accommodations booked for next month’s SIDS4 conference

With the fourth Small Island Developing States (SIDS) conference officially one month away, the director of Policy and Planning within the Ministry of Tourism believes that the excitement is palpable with a vast majority of high-end rooms already booked.

More than 3,000 persons expected to descend on the island from May 27-30 to take part in a series of events hosted by a number of organisations to discuss how to improve the lives and livelihoods of persons in small island states.

St Clair Soleyn, the Director of Policy and Planning, said that in preparation for the event, the procurement of sufficient caterers and security personnel have been sought.

“We are registering properties at a very high rate and we’re hoping to get sufficient or above sufficient levels of rooms ready for the SIDS conference.

“The security is in place, and we have already settled with the caterers and the compound transportation is moving along at this stage, we are in good stead to have a spectacular conference,” Director Soleyn informed our newsroom.
