Butch Stewart

Jamaica, tourism. Stewart started out selling air conditioners in Kingston through his company Appliance Traders, then bought a run-down hotel in Montego Bay in 1981 and opened the first Sandals. His all-inclusive resorts for couples, where one price covered food, drink and activities, suited visitors wary of spending money in an unfamiliar place, and Sandals spread across the region. He died in 2021.
