In 2019, San­dals Re­sorts In­ter­na­tion­al with­drew from To­ba­go af­ter con­tro­ver­sy over the project on the is­land. Now the in­ter­na­tion­al ho­tel brand is set to re­turn as fresh ne­go­ti­a­tions are ex­pect­ed to be­gin next month when San­dals ex­ec­u­tives ar­rive in T&T.

This was an­nounced by Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley, who made the com­ments at yes­ter­day’s com­mis­sion­ing of To­ba­go’s new ter­mi­nal of the ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port.

The move has been wel­comed by econ­o­mists Dr Ronald Ramkissoon, Dr Vaalmik­ki Ar­joon, and po­lit­i­cal an­a­lyst Dr Win­ford James.
