Holistica is a 50-50 joint venture between RCL and ITM. The regeneration of Grand Lucayan resort in Freeport, Grand Bahama, was announced as the first project last June. 

Torres de Navarra had taken Holistica's helm in October as its first CEO. Earlier he had been with Carnival Corp. & plc as VP global port and destination development and, previously, VP strategic and commercial port development for Carnival Cruise Line. Before Carnival, he spent seven years with Royal Caribbean.
