The closure of the Four Seasons Resort in Nevis is being seen as a blow to tourism in St Kitts and Nevis.
Four Seasons Resort Nevis is currently closed until April 30, as a result of the impact of Hurricane Omar which hit the island last October.
Federal Minister of State for Tourism, Senator Richard Skerrit said the closure will “hurt the federation in several ways”, including resulting in fewer visitors on the ground spending.
He told BBC Caribbean that the twin-island federation would also be affected because a percentage of the visitors were arriving on international airlift that the government had contracted with airlines like British Airways to supply.
Senator Skerrit said it might now be a little more difficult to fill seats, adding that it “puts the airlift arrangement at a bit more of a risk”.
Four Seasons, seen as a major employer in Nevis, suffered damage from Hurricane during last year’s transatlantic hurricane season.
