Resort Drumming Up Local Business

WARRI PIEROne local resort is combatting the economic crunch by targetting homegrown business. Rex Resorts has been promoting a Staycation programme targeting groups,associations and organisations, as well as families.

“We have had meetings with banks, social clubs and associations to encourage potential clients to come to Hawksbill or Halcyon Cove by rex resorts to spend some time,” said General Manager Richard Michelin.

He added, “We are cognisant of the challenges people are facing in travelling overseas for a vacation and we want to do something to give them a chance to still enjoy a bit of a break from their usual routine."

Various social and business organisations have taken advantage of Hawksbill’s Staycation packages so far. Our specials include an all-inclusive room package, island cruises with Treasure Island and day passes at discounted prices.


At the Halcyon Cove, the Warri Pier is opened on Friday for lunch there is also the option of having lunch on Tuesdays and Sundays.

What will happen afterwards?

Staycations is a long overdue concept for the off season to give locals a chance to taste the good life. But what will happen when the touists come back? will a local loose the discount? In Disney World I saw a thing called a Residents discount, they told me it was for Florida Residents,
Othe r places do the same thing to encourage locals.

Do you search the staycation guests when they leave the compound too?

Good Move

Good to see a page is being taken from the good books of Jolly Beach Resort (they always cater for locals). My family and i enjoy Jolly Beach day p** as well as their packages for locals. Having said this, we've never been to this resort and i would like to know if there's a website i can check out the rates for the weekends, cruises etc.?

Again, good move and don't just do it now but continue it - as locals, it's good to have the opportunity to enjoy our own country - whether or not we travel abroad for vacation.
