The Deputy Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, Ernest Hilaire, engaged in a fruitful meeting with stakeholders at Reduit Beach alongside a team from Invest Saint Lucia. The meeting aimed at discussing a proposed beach park for that area.
According to the information, the small business owners from the area raised valid concerns with the proposed changes during the meeting. “However, the discussions were productive and constructive,” outlined Minister Hilaire.
While taking to his official Facebook account, Dr Hilaire said that the proposed beach park is intended to provide more comfortable arrangements for beach users and entrepreneurs who operate their businesses in the area.
This will make the beach more easily accessible to the visitors who come to the island for vacations while the local vendors will also benefit from the comfortable spaces where they can provide their goods and services to the people.
The beach park will be built at the Reduit Beach which is famous for offering calm water for swimming and beach bars.
He further noted that the Atlas Group plans to include the development of the beach area as part of the A’ila Resort and Spa Saint Lucia tourist development in Mount Pimard. This project is being built with a total investment of EC$2.3 billion.
All these developments are strived at enhancing the tourism product in the Eastern Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia. Minister Hilaire said that such meetings provide the perfect platform to the stakeholders to share their interests and concerns with the members of the government.
Dr Ernest Hilaire also serves as the Tourism Minister of the country which is why he is always aiming to enhance the offerings and make the island a premier vacation spot for couples, group of friends or solo travellers.
Meanwhile, the investors are also showing their continuous confidence in the country because of the stewardship of Prime Minister Philip J Pierre. As of now, several new developments are taking place in the country, most of which are under the tourism sector.
