Chris Harrison, the host of ABC’s hit romance reality series The Bachelor, returned with the show to the island of Saint Lucia to host the final two episodes of the season, including the highly anticipated Final Rose Ceremony. The episodeswere aired on Tuesday, February 25, and Monday, March 10, 2014. The Bachelor, currently in its 18th season and starring Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis, has visited Saint Lucia before, most recently with Bachelor Jake Pavelka during season 14 of the series.
“The Bachelor has become a staple in reality television. The fans of this show religiously tune in season after season. We feel privileged to once again share in this journey toward love with them,” says Tracey Warner Arnold, deputy director of tourism for the Saint Lucia Tourist Board.
ABC’s hit reality series The Bachelor showcased just a few of the romantic locales that span across Saint Lucia. As millions of viewers saw in the season finale of the widely popular reality show, the fiery sunsets, secluded beaches, crystal blue waters, and astounding views of Saint Lucia make it a true Caribbean paradise for couples to fall in love.
ABC’s The Bachelor fans can explore Saint Lucia by clicking through the Red Rose Trail interactive map at https://www.facebook.com/SaintLuciaTouristBoard, which showcases island hot-spots visited by Juan Pablo and his bachelorettes. Couples can follow in their footsteps by hopping aboard a catamaran cruise as the sun begins to set, horseback riding on an exclusive beach and enjoying delectable delicacies at Anse La Raye and Dennery weekend seafood fiestas.

Early this year, the Management team set out to deliver gift baskets which were put together with contributions from the different departments within Treasure Bay Casino. These gift baskets were given out to the Center for Adolescent Renewal and Education (CARE) in the Anse La Raye and Mabouya Valley communities. We were glad to have played a small part in helping these inspiring teachers and their students.
As we continue to grow, Treasure Bay Casino is committed to being an active community member and we want to help support innovative and exciting educational projects in our host communities.
We would also like to thank our employees and Management team for their donations. These donations will make it possible for the students in the Maybouya and Anse La Raye CARE to experience their learning hands-on in the classroom. This allows students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum.
Once again, thank you to all for your generous donations and support of this staff initiative.
