Rumor has it that Riu has
purchased Radisson Aruba and will take over on July 1st. At
this point in time Riu will not confirm or deny anything to us but we have
information directly from our tourism and ground operator contacts in Aruba
that leads us to believe that what we have heard is true.
As a precaution we will be
shutting down inventory for Radisson Aruba for travel July 1 to October 31 –
the July 1st takeover date is very quickly approaching if it is true
and because we’re not sure of what the transition will entail (unsure if
closing to renovate as they did with Westin) we want to limit the number of new
bookings that we are taking until we have final details.
Riu is here on Tuesday, June 9th
for our annual meeting and we expect to have details on this acquisition, at
the latest, following that meeting.
We will be sure to keep you
informed of details as we receive them.
