Bay Gardens Resorts in St. Lucia is offering resort credits on future stays to travelers who donate to a relief fund created to support its staff members during the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Much, if not all, of our success can be attributed to our employees and our guests who we consider an extension of our family,” said Bay Gardens Executive Director Sanovnik Destang as he launched the fund.

In the context of COVID-19 global travel restrictions and the local government-mandated scale-down of non-essential business activity, Bay Gardens’ management team helped to cushion the impact of the loss of revenues by spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide income support to its employees, who received a minimum of 50 percent of their base salary, up to a maximum of 75 percent.

For the months of May and June, the Government of St. Lucia, through the National Insurance Corporation (NIC), will provide income support to employees who have lost their income as a result of COVID-19.

“Our team is looking forward to welcoming you back to St. Lucia and to Bay Gardens Resorts when the time is right.
