 The government of St. Lucia, led by Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre, continues to fulfill its mandate of attracting foreign investment to the island. So I want to assure the Malin family that the government will do whatever we have to do. All we ask from you is to be fair, to be fair to the people of St. Lucia, to be fair to the workers of St. Lucia, and to ensure that St. Lucia is at the top of illicit priorities. Although your hotel is called Secrets, my pitch for you is not to keep St. Lucia Secrets, to tell people that Secrets is in St. Lucia and they must come to St. Lucia to enjoy that Secrets. This is my pitch to you. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Investment Dr. the Honourable Eunice Lair successfully anchored negotiations with officials of the internationally acclaimed hospitality provider, World of Hyatt, to bring the first Secrets Resorts to St. Lucia and the Eastern Caribbean region. Honourable Prime Minister, we commend you on the structure, the support and the professionalism of the team you have built. To name just a few, invest St. Lucia's knowledge, support and promotion, and the Honourable Minister Alair's unwavering availability when needed are invaluable to investors like us. We are aligned with Minister Alair's initiatives and the promotion to promote guests exploring the experiences on the island and the economic impact it will have beyond the hotel, as well as his work positioning the island as a premier destination. Hundreds of new jobs will be created over the course of the construction phases and completion of the project. New business opportunities for St. Lucia's tourism industry stakeholders are on the horizon and St. Lucia's will gain access to new and sustainable job opportunities and careers. And this is where this project is of special significance to us. I must say to you and I have to be honest, we're very disappointed we're going to be losing a family option that we had before, but in place of that family option we will be offering probably the most luxurious Secrets option anywhere in the Eastern Caribbean. So as we go out promoting St. Lucia, we have another product of the highest quality that we can add to our portfolio that we can speak of. Secrets Resorts occupies the former St. James Club location in addition to all-inclusive hospitality services, the property boasts more than 350 luxury suites and rooms. Secrets Resorts is scheduled to officially open its doors in the summer of 2024. Office of the Prime Minister
