Sections of the capital city of Castries should expect a facelift, as one part of a new tourism enhancement project funded by the World Bank.
The official launch of the project took place in Saint Lucia, last week, before a gathering of 70 persons.
The Project is funded to the tune of 26 million US dollars, with three beneficiary countries.
Of this total budget, Saint Lucia is allotted 15 million US dollars, Grenada 6 million and St Vincent and Grenadines 5 million.
Speaking at the event, Dominic Fedee, Saint Lucia’s Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, welcomed the regional approach to the project, stating that there was no need to “behave as if we are involved in a race for the lowest. We can surely achieve more sustainability in tourism, when we combine our efforts together as a region”.
