Premier Philip J. Pierre has highlighted the benefits to Saint Lucians of a multi-million dollar redevelopment and expansion project for the Castries and Soufriere waterfronts.
On October 20, Saint Lucia signed a memorandum of understanding with Global Port Holdings (GPH) to undertake the US$47 million initiative.
Pierre, in charge of finance, said the redevelopment and expansion would improve Saint Lucia’s tourism product and provide greater opportunities for vendors and hospitality workers.
“After the completion of the project, Port Castries will have a promenade and will be able to accommodate the largest cruise ships in the world,” noted the former Minister of Tourism.

“Arcade vendors will have access to new and improved facilities and Castries fishermen will reap the benefits of a new fishing village and ferry facility at Bananas Bay and Pointe Seraphine,” Pierre wrote on Facebook.
In addition, he explained that the re-imagined Soufriere waterfront would feature improved docking facilities and new retail spaces for local retailers.
