By GlobalDataThe luxury resort will create more than 1,000 jobs, including 750 during construction and support local suppliers.
Once the project becomes operational, more than 325 permanent hospitality jobs will be created.
Minister of Tourism and Deputy Premier Moses Kirkconnell said the eastern districts and Bodden Town would derive great benefits from having a luxury resort in its midst, by providing sustainable employment and a broadening of the tourism offering.
"Once opened, this development will add to the 5,200 rooms currently available across our islands for the enjoyment of guests who vacation with us."
The project’s designs will be unveiled in the next few months and the hotel is slated to open in late-2018.
