The Antigua resort has been designed by HKS Architects andROAM Interior Design (formerly HKS Hospitality Interiors),two of the world’s leading design firms for the hospitality, leisure, and entertainment industries.
A hallmark of HKS’saward-winningwork is their attention and sensitivity to the influences of local culture, natural resources, local communities, and the spirit of the location.
A significant investment will be made in the resort’s development and the expectation is that around 300 long term jobs will be created on the island along with a similar number of shorter-term construction jobs.
During construction, a diverse workforce will be required for the project and once operational the resort will create significantfull-time employment, resulting from the expected high levels of occupancy.
Local suppliers will expand to cater for the resort’s operational needs, as well as to independently service a higher volume of tourists throughout the region.
The construction workforce will as far as possible be sourced locally, where the appropriate skills are available, and the development team will be looking to utilise as much of the Antiguan supply chain as possible in terms of workforce, subcontractors, and suppliers.

And the two key words in the header that Antiguans will be making a good note of is “Long-term”.
For those who work in the hospitality, know that this sector can be very volatile and fluctuates from time with low season, short-term closures and low pay contracts (if they lucky to get one that is).
So hopefully, these owners/entrepreneurs are as good as their words, because the many Antiguans that work in this sector just want work security, assurance and stability.
300 LONG TERM JOBS…? …FLOWERY KANGUAGE
POIGNANT REMINDERS BY THE ‘…MIGHTY MONARH’
The ‘…Flowery Language’ used in this news story ‘…Poignantly Reminds’ the citizenry of a social commentary by the ‘…MIGHTY MONARCH.’
He has not yet ‘…Transitioned to Glory,’ so he too, will remember the song:
(a) ‘…TECHNICAL SCHOOL: and lyrical content
(b) …HEWERS OF WOOD AND CARRIERS OF WATER.’
QUESTION’S
(i) ‘…Is that what the suggested ‘…300-Lon Term Jobs’ are all about? or simply
(ii) …Bellmen: …Waiters/Waitresses: …Room Cleaners: …Dishwashers: …Kitchen
Assistants: …Gardeners: …Beach Cleaners?’
DREADFUL DAYS OF SLAVERY
None of these positions shall be viewed as ‘…DEGRADING.’
None shall ever be given ‘REMINDERS’ of the ‘…DREADFUL DAYS OF SLAVERY.’
THUS, for their ‘…LABORING AND OFTEN TIRESOME TASKS,’ they shall be properly ‘…REMUNERATED,’ with enhanced ‘…Incentivized Positions and Service.’
ASK MY FRRIEND, SANDRA…?
FAILING, which could also remind
Why should I celebrate white monopoly capital domination? Or continue to serve as a hand to create wealth for white monopoly capital? To be subjected to menial jobs as maids and gardeners all my life and my future generations.
Is this what we Antiguan need to excited for! Working as slave for a low paying job. I’m tired of seeing this play numerous time. Help the rich it richer and slave away the poor people.
As long as the development stays within the existing boundary and doesn’t encroach on the beach or restrict access to the beach.
Dedicated beach landing area n beach front accommodation indicates they may try!
