Plans to transform the historic Fort Barrington into a tourism hub is still going forward.
This is according to Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister’s Office Lionel Hurst.
It’s been three years since Cabinet initially announced a new partnership with Chukka Caribbean Adventures to transform the 18th century site on Goat Hill into an entertainment and amusement centre.
Chukka Caribbean Adventures is billed as the Caribbean’s largest nature-adventure tour operator.
It is a Jamaican-grown company which has been in operation for more than 35 years and has developed many tourism sites in Barbados, Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.
Goat Hill, which is adjacent to the Royalton Resort, is a popular spot for both residents and tourists who are in tune with nature and history, as people can hike up the hill to the fort’s ruins.
The group is expected to spend up to US$5 million on enhancing the site’s historical offerings and other natural assets, including the beach, as well as allowing for the exploration of caves.
I even forgot about that. It’s been so long
I guess this project is now rotation mode by the government..as usual
It’s nothing new for the government to say things and they never happen. Let’s see if it will come about this time
I glad yall see through this talk shop. Just wasting our time.
Antigua and Barbuda is a tourism country and anything to do with making the product better will have my support
That they don’t talk about things so much and that they do it quickly.
