The government of Antigua and Barbuda has pledged that a planned billion-dollar eco-resort investment by Global Capital Caribbean will meet and surpass national environmental standards.
Chief of Staff Lionel Max Hurst told Monday’s post-Cabinet press briefing that the proposed development, which includes a resort and an adjacent farm cultivating medicinal plants, will align with the country’s commitment to sustainable tourism.
“Any group planning to invest more than a billion dollars will ensure that environmental standards are not only met but exceeded,” Hurst said. “They are pursuing an eco-friendly tourism model that is central to their business strategy.”
The resort, which targets a growing global market for wellness and agricultural tourism, will incorporate farm-to-table concepts, allowing visitors to experience the cultivation and consumption of natural produce grown on site.
Hurst explained that the government welcomes such initiatives as part of efforts to diversify Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism product beyond traditional sun, sea, and sand offerings.
He added that investors have demonstrated proof of capital and have ongoing projects elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Environmental impact assessments and regulatory approvals will still be required before construction begins. However, Hurst assured the public that all necessary safeguards will be put in place to protect the island’s natural resources.
Further details about the project’s scope and timeline are expected following the completion of environmental and planning reviews.

Location of this billion$ tourism investment please.
What’s new here?
Just another fantasy filled with politically bias optimism.
Everything is a secret.
From who is selected to be the Antigua and Barbuda next Director of Public Prosecution to who are the investors behind this development.
What’s the secret? CURRUPTION as usual.
This pronouncement says General Elections and we might be on the verge of having another Guiana Farms Ltd or YIDA Developments who promised us billion dollars investments at the same location after we had given up thousands of acres of lands for less than 3 million ec dollars.
It seems like when antiguans her this huge figure rattled out they lose all sense and sensibility…..
How many billions of pledged investments is in the pipeline?????
Years ago the national zero asked Gassy to complete one of the pledged investments…..
To date not one has been completed and we keep hearing of new pledges of larger amounts…….
Are those pledges land grabs???????
Anyhow we will hear of “finders fees” when bank accounts are exposed in the US……….
Keep sniffing the money men, Tap/Browne Dawg…..
Hope money doesn’t poisin your lungs or should I say your reputation…………
If it hasn’t……..
I am tired of seeing this specimen from the Early Man Era, I am asking the PM to get someone from this century to present the Cabinet notes, it sounds and looks boring
Stop spoon feeding the public,be transparent,where is this development,are any town hall meetings happening,we demand full transparency
I really and truly rather not have another resort that is going to have a 25 year tax break and mostly likely at some part of the island and will destroy surrounding environment
