Tucker's Point boss says he looks "forward to contributing to the revival of tourism"

The chairman of Chairman of Castle Harbour Ltd., the owner and developer of Tucker’s Point, issued a statement this morning saying he “looked forward to Tucker’s Point now being positioned to contribute to the revival of tourism growth in Bermuda”.James Masters issued the statement in the wake of Senators voting seven to four in favour of a revised SDO which reduces the amount of land being developed and which also took away any hotel expansion.The statement said: “James Masters, Chairman of Castle Harbour Ltd., the owner and developer of Tucker’s Point, expressed appreciation for the Senate’s support of the Tucker’s Point SDO which was passed on Friday night.“He noted the debate had generated strong feelings in the community and he looked forward to Tucker’s Point now being positioned to contribute to the revival of tourism growth in Bermuda.“Mr Masters noted that the amended SDO still needed to be voted on by the House which was scheduled to consider the amendments on Monday. Asked about next steps, Mr Masters said that the Company’s immediate focus was the transfer of management responsibilities to Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. Rosewood is expected to give the Rosewood Tucker’s Point Hotel a significant marketing lift by introducing new markets of affluent leisure and business travelers.”
