Hyatt Hotels said yesterday it remains behind developer Carl Bazarian and plans for a resort in St. George’s.A spokeswoman for Hyatt in the US told The Royal Gazette the chain was working with Mr Bazarian to “accelerate” construction of a Park Hyatt hotel at the East End site.“We are continuing to work with Mr. Bazarian with a goal of opening a Hyatt-branded property in Bermuda,” the Hyatt spokeswoman said.“As part of that process, we’re working with Mr. Bazarian to determine how we can accelerate the development of a hotel and even increase the number of hotel keys from what had been previously planned.”Mr Bazarian flew to the Island last week to meet with Government and other officials about the delayed project.He announced he could break ground on phase one of the project as soon as this year and the hotel, spa and golf course could open in 2015.But Government is refusing to comment on Mr Bazarian’s latest announcement, leading some to question what’s really going on behind the scenes.After taking back a remark on TV news that the contract with Mr Bazarian had been terminated, Tourism Minister Wayne Furbert said he meant to say the time period for the agreement with Mr Bazarian has expired and “the agreement has lapsed”.But it remains unclear what Government is going to do about the agreement having “lapsed”.Shawn Crockwell, the Shadow Tourism Minister, has slammed the confusion surrounding the Bazarian lease, asking: “Does (Government) support the project in light of its failure to start construction on time? Is its agreement with the developer still in force? Is it prepared to extend deadlines? Does it support the scaled down project as indicated by the developer? Where is the Minister to answer these basic questions?”
