WITH THE official start of the winter season set for December 15, the Grand Lido Braco Resort and Spa Hotel, in Trelawny, one of the north coast's premium all-inclusive resorts, is already registering an increase in bookings for the season.
"It's looking very good for Grand Lido Braco," said Ron Droegmyer, general manager of the hotel. He was speaking at the hotel's seventh anniversary celebrations last Wednesday. "We are ahead of last year at this time. As long as the United States economy stays where it is, I think we will have a great year. We are way ahead of last year and last year was a good year."
Also in high spirits for the winter season, was Carol Walters-Davis, assistant manager of the hotel, who credited a part of the success in projections to the increase in return guests.
"Already the winter season is looking well," she said. "Right now, 30 per cent of our occupants are repeat guests. We have 226 rooms and we have a little bit over a 100 occupied by repeat guests."
Having changed owners in 1997 to become a part of the SuperClubs hotel chain, Grand Lido Braco celebrated its seventh anniversary under the theme 'Out of Many One People: Come Celebrate Our Heritage' in its famed Village Square last Wednesday.
