Alex De Brito
Alex De Brito, a prominent figure in the hospitality industry and the beloved head of the Galley Bay Resort and Spa, has passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. He died on Sunday in Miami, leaving behind a legacy that greatly impacted the tourism landscape.
De Brito embarked on his career in the hotel and tourism sector in 1983 as a travel agent, where he began to cultivate his passion for hospitality.
His journey then led him to Paris, where he transitioned into the restaurant and bar industry, honing his skills and deepening his understanding of guest experience and service.
In 1998 he was hired at the Casa de Campo Resort and Villas in the Dominican Republic and later moved to Allegro where he stayed until 1999.
He was then hired by Elite Resorts in Antigua and Barbuda as Vice President of Operations.
The hospitality industry has lost two business men in less than a week. Wow RIP sir
R.I.P De Brito
First Barrett, then De Brito! Close on our heels is Donald Trump who seems intent on pounding the final nail into our tourism sector. Instead of mocking put astute PM, maybe it’s time to take food security seriously. Rough times lie ahead!
