Among other strategies for tourism, we should continue to enrich the menu of choices open to the visitor. Central Bank is proud of the restoration of the Masonic Lodge, and the museum of commerce, education and freemasonry that is being commissioned will enrich the Bridgetown Heritage experience. We should invest in the uniqueness of the Bajan experience, including our other World Heritage properties.
In the International Business and Financial Services sector, the challenge is to broaden Barbados’ market appeal. We have an impressive network of double taxation treaties, and we are seeking ways of using them all, to diversify the sources of international business income.
