Good news for increasing tourism in Grenada, Tobago and Barbados with this new alliance.

In a Nutshell: Sunwing Travel Group and Rex Resorts entered into a new strategic alliance for six of Rex Resorts’ Caribbean hotels. Sunwing plans to make significant improvements to each of the resorts over the coming years.  The two brands include Starfish Resorts and Mystique Resorts.

“We are excited to be entering into this partnership which reflects our commitment to the CARICOM countries of the Lesser Antilles.” said Stephen Hunter, President & CEO of Sunwing Travel Group. He added, “We look forward to increasing tourism in Grenada, Tobago and Barbados as we have recently done in St. Lucia and Antigua.”

The six Rex Resorts will be absorbed within two of the hotel division’s brands: the new luxury boutique hotel collection, Mystique Resorts and the popular mid-market chain, Starfish Resorts.

“This strategic alliance will enable us to rejuvenate and further enhance these popular resorts which are all situated in prime beach locations. Leveraging Sunwing’s distribution and scale will allow us to boost our occupancy and tighten our operational costs and ultimately position these properties to provide even more value to our guests. We look forward to the continued support of our valued employees, local suppliers and tour operators as we finalize this exciting and transformational agreement,” according to Alison Palin of Rex Resorts.
