Prime Minister Gaston Browne Visits UNESCO World Heritage Site as Part of Strategic Tourism Initiative<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nelson\u2019s Dockyard, English Harbour Antigua \u2013 April 9, 2025 \u2014 Prime Minister Gaston Browne conducted a special visit to the National Parks and UNESCO World Heritage Site on Friday, April 4, 2025, to gain firsthand insight into the ongoing restoration and development works within the historic Park. The visit aligns with the Government\u2019s broader strategic plan to integrate key heritage sites into national tourism initiatives, promoting sustainable development and economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanied by Senator Philip Shoul, Chairman of the National Parks Authority, and Parks Commissioner Ann Marie Martin, the Prime Minister began his tour at the Blockhouse ruins\u2014an iconic structure currently undergoing critical stabilization efforts. The area was abuzz with skilled stone masons and labourers working diligently to stabilize the historic site. Prime Minister Browne was particularly impressed with the meticulous craftsmanship, as eroded stones were carefully chipped and repurposed in the rebuilding process. He commended the workers for their dedication and skill.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The tour continued to the inner area of the Fort. He was told that the historic cistern was still in use and service the newly renovated restroom facilities, now equipped with solar lighting\u2014part of the Park\u2019s push for eco-friendly upgrades. An upgrade of the vendor\u2019s mall and parking facility was in the works.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A poignant moment during the visit was at the Shirley Heights Cemetery, marking the Prime Minister\u2019s first time there. He noted with reflection the numerous graves belonging to British and West Indian Regiment soldiers, as well as many children, highlighting the site’s historical and emotional significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Interpretation and Events Centre, Chairman Shoul showcased the space\u2019s modern features, including a fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen and luxury restroom amenities. The courtyard, adorned with specially cut stone, sets the stage for large-scale cultural and tourism events. The Prime Minister also took the time to relax and experience the newly introduced sound and light show, which brings Antigua\u2019s rich history to life.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another major stop was the enhanced parking facility at Falmouth Harbour, which now features wheelchair access and expanded capacity to accommodate small cruise ship passengers and visiting tourists. However, concerns were raised regarding the overall parking limitations within the Falmouth Harbour precinct. The area, which hosts multiple restaurants, car rentals, the housing of the Inland Revenue, Social Security and Education Levy departments, hotels, and guest accommodations, has experienced rapid growth without proportional infrastructure upgrades. Wastewater management and traffic congestion were cited as pressing issues under ongoing review by the Park authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister also visited Pigeon Point, where he reviewed current facilities and identified the need for improvements, including a facelift to the desalination plant and road repairs, particularly in areas prone to large water pools. He encouraged the planting of more trees to enhance the natural beauty of the site.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The visit concluded at the Dockyard Market Area, where the Prime Minister interacted with local vendors. He toured the recently upgraded public restrooms and the renovated Post Office. A final stop was made at the Dockyard Museum, where Prime Minister Browne viewed the \u201c8th of March\u201d exhibition. He expressed deep interest in learning about the pivotal contributions of enslaved Africans to the construction of the Dockyard and praised efforts to preserve and honour that legacy.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister\u2019s visit coincided with the conclusion of the Oyster Round the World Rally and the commencement of the 2025 Antigua Regatta. He shared a cordial exchange with Oyster Regatta owner Richard Hadida, as approximately 32 yachts participated in this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairman Shoul also shared exciting plans, including seabed sweeping to accommodate larger vessels, extension of the superyacht marina, and continued restoration of the Officer\u2019s Quarters and the historic Gate House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the visit, Prime Minister Browne commended Chairman Shoul, his team, and the Parks Commissioner Martin for their outstanding efforts in preserving and restoring a vital part of Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s rich heritage. \u201cOur history plays a crucial role in our nation\u2019s development. It is essential that we understand and value our origins, as well as the sacrifices made by our ancestors. To build a strong economic future, we must first embrace our past and allow it to guide us forward,\u201d the Prime Minister stated. \u201cI encourage all Antiguans and Barbudans to make visits to the Dockyard a meaningful part of our children\u2019s educational journey and a tribute to our historical legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This landmark visit underscores the Government\u2019s commitment to heritage preservation, sustainable tourism, and infrastructure development, reinforcing Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s position as a premier cultural and tourism destination in the Caribbean. (Ends)<\/p>\n
