Sandals rewards Caribbean Olympic medallists with free vacations
Caribbean athletes who medalled at the Paris Olympic Games and who are from islands where Sandals Resorts International operates have been offered complimentary vacations by the award-winning resort brand.
Jamaicans Rojé Stona, Kishane Thompson, Shanieka Ricketts, Rajindra Campbell, Wayne Pinnock and Rasheed Broadbell, as well as St Lucia’s Julien Alfred, Grenada’s Lindon Victor and Anderson Peters will receive complimentary one-week vacations at any Sandals or Beaches resort across the region, the resort chain stated in a news release.
“The Olympic Games are always a special time for us here in the Caribbean. Our athletes are incredibly talented and we are thrilled to witness their wins and record-making performances. On behalf of our entire Sandals family, we excitedly celebrate with our Olympic medallists and we look forward to hosting them for a relaxing vacation at Sandals,” the release quotes Sandals Executive Chairman Adam Stewart.
This latest show of support for Caribbean athletes has become a hallmark of Sandals Resorts as the group made a similar offering to athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The resort chain has also been a major sponsor of regional sports such as the West Indies Cricket team and multiple motorsport athletes among many others.
