Peter Odle
I am an instinctive entrepreneur, quick to spot an opportunity and willing to take calculated risks. That’s how I started 48 years ago, and I still operate that way today. There has been significant development in Barbados during my time, which has created lots of openings. And, with the country poised to continue developing, I am still looking to expand our business, but now supported by the young members of my family working in the group. As well as investing in several new properties, we also intend to start producing our own brand of some of the basic products that are heavily consumed every day in our hotels.
Looking forward, I have the utmost confidence in this country. In fact, I can't think of any better place to do business. Barbados offers a welcoming, safe, financially sound, well-regulated environment for investors, both local and international alike. Plus we don’t have capital gains or inheritance taxes.
On top of all that, Barbados is such a fantastic place to live. My advice to any potential investor is to take the first step by coming here to meet some people and experience our happy and healthy lifestyle in person.
