The resort, located on Barbados' Gold Coast, will feature 220 stylish suites and is part of a strategic expansion by Blue Diamond Resorts, coinciding with the company's 15th anniversary. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department has issued a travel advisory for the Turks and Caicos Islands, warning travelers about strict laws on firearms and ammunition, which could lead to severe legal consequences for violations. Travelers are advised to exercise increased caution and thoroughly check their luggage before traveling. Additionally, NGOs in Jamaica are making significant strides in HIV treatment and support, with programs increasing the number of people receiving care and achieving viral suppression. Lastly, new developments, including a Ritz-Carlton project in St. Kitts, reflect the ongoing investment interest in Caribbean tourism.
