Prime Minister Mia Mottley has declared that Barbados has completed its economic rehabilitation and is entering a new phase of tourism-driven growth, marked by a surge in hotel development and a strategic shift branded as “Tourism 3.0”.

Mottley made the announcement at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Royalton Vessence resort in Holetown, St James, where she framed the country’s post-crisis recovery as a structured transition from stabilisation to expansion.
