Plans to develop Browne's Beach

February 21, 2012

The People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) has claimed that business consultants are developing a plan to offer up Browne’s Beach as the location for a number of foreign hotel companies to construct lavish five star hotels on Brown’s Beach in St Michael.

In a statement issued yesterday, PEP’s president, David Commissiong said that he had spoken with one of the consultants on the proposed project.

Mr Commissiong also criticized the proposal, saying that Browne’s Beach is much too sacred to Barbadians to be sold off to the highest bidder. He adds that if there is to be any tourism development along Browne’s Beach, it should be owned by and evocative of Barbadians.
