A natural corollary of the new resort developments underway at Mt. Wynne and Peter’s Hope will be increased visitor traffic to the neighbouring towns of Layou and Barrouallie.
These towns will be made more attractive, accessible and able to facilitate commercial and recreational activity.
As such, Budget 2019 makes provision for an initiative called “Aesthetics Improvement of Layou and Barrouallie Towns,” which will help residents to prepare for the expected tourist influx.
Construction of the Black Sands Resort – a 40-villa development with an additional 200-room resort hotel – is underway at Peter’s Hope.
The Buccament Bay Resort, for years a magnet for British tourism in our country, has emerged from the limbo of receivership and now finally has new ownership.
The Bankruptcy Trustee’s prolonged search for appropriate investors for Buccament Bay, has pleasingly found success in an investment group led by Vincentians who are familiar with our tourism product and our aspiration to become a first-class destination.
