Global Ports Holding<\/strong> says construction on the upland development at Antigua Cruise Port is progressing, with work now focused on roofing for a new cluster of kiosks and commercial buildings.<\/p>

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

According to an update shared by the company, Phase 2 of the project is moving steadily, with crews installing roofs on structures intended to house retail outlets and business spaces. The development is expected to introduce expanded shopping options, locally driven experiences and new opportunities for small businesses operating within the port area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upland expansion forms part of a broader plan to enhance the visitor experience and increase the port\u2019s capacity to support cruise tourism. The company said the investment is aimed at strengthening the destination\u2019s appeal while contributing to long-term economic activity in the surrounding community.<\/p>
