Dominica’s landmark Fort Young Hotel has named a new general manager, the property announced this week.
The Fort Young has tapped Jose Abreu as its new general manager, in which role he will oversee the complete operation of the property, including the final phase of the hotel’s renovations.

My passion is to serve, to help people around me to become better human beings and to add value to their lives. I never lose the focus of recognizing the most important resource, which is people.”
The hotel has become one of the centerpieces of Dominica’s tourism renaissance in recent years.
