Tradewinds reopens one of two storm-damaged hotels

Tradewinds Resort has reopened the RumFish Beach hotel, a pivotal move in the recovery efforts for St. Pete Beach following the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This reopening not only signifies the return of vital tourism activities but also serves as a beacon of hope for the local economy. Resort officials have announced plans to reopen the adjacent Island Grand hotel by the end of the year, further bolstering confidence in the region's recovery. The reopening reflects the community's resilience and determination to bounce back from the challenges posed by the storms.

In addition to restoring hotel services, the resort is actively rescheduling events that were postponed due to the hurricanes, catering to the needs of local and visiting guests. The positive reception from the community emphasizes the crucial role that tourism plays in sustaining local businesses and livelihoods. As St. Pete Beach rebuilds, the focus remains on revitalizing the area's appeal to tourists. This development is a testament to the collaborative efforts among local stakeholders in rejuvenating the tourism sector.
