Business View Caribbean | Volume 9, Issue 1

52 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 9, ISSUE 1 Phillips explains, “So, we did some work there. If you traverse this property, that is one of the great features, the walkways and pathways that facilitate walking through our amazing gardens.” Low density lighting was added as part of the improvements to these walkways, along with landscape lighting upgrades throughout the property. New pathways were also added, further enhancing the beauty and functionality of the resort. “One of the things about Blue Waters that makes it so spectacular is the fact that there is a continuous level of reinvestment into the property,” suggests Phillips, “This creates a sustainable business model because once there is reinvestment, it keeps the employees – they are able to earn and continuously make money, and they look after our guests and create these magical experiences. The guests continue to want to come to Blue Waters and that gives the money to our ownership and once again they are able to reinvest. It is this cycle of continuity, © 2018 Grant Thornton.
