Nevis Premier Seeks Fair Deal On Newfound Development

Charlestown Nevis (February 21, 2007)
Nevis has a very high reputation in the international marketplace, that’s according to Premier of Nevis, the Hon Joseph Parry who is responsible for Tourism and Economic Planning. Mr. Parry made the statement on Friday February 16th 2007 at a press conference during which he reported on a number of issues. He said that as his Nevis Reformation Party (NRP)led-Administration continued its negotiations with Newfound Development Company, maintaining the country’s reputation in this regard would be at the forefront.

“Some people have been comparing between the peninsula and Nevis and saying that you can have synergies between the peninsula and Nevis, many people have done that. They are talking about high-end in Nevis complimenting high-end hotels on the peninsula and that is something else that we must also bear in mind.

It is becoming clearer and clearer that Nevis has a very high reputation in the international marketplace. It is regarded as a high end destination for tourism so that anything that we do from now on should ensure that we maintain the reputation that we have in the marketplace. I can assure the people of Nevis that as we [NIA] continue our discussions we will bear that very much in mind”. He said.

The twin island states of St. Kitts and Nevis faced skepticism and at times ridicule but have pulled off what naysayers predicted would be impossible. Not only is their Warner Park Stadium ready for the 2007 World Cup of Cricket, it’s also been called one of the best cricket grounds in the Caribbean.

“Pound for pound, it is the best venue and I certainly feel the pride of St. Kitts and Nevis,” said Chris Dehring, managing director of the International Cricket Council’s Cricket World Cup 2007.

Dehring was a part of a group of ICC officials who ended a tour of the nine World Cup venues spread across the Caribbean with a visit to St. Kitts Nov. 27.

The economy of St. Kitts and Nevis and other borrowing member countries of the Barbados-based
Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) showed strong economic growth among its
borrowing member countries last year and improved performances is expected
in 2007.

The CDB said that the tourism industry is expected to benefit significantly
from the 2007 Cricket World Cup that will be held in St. Kitts and Nevis and
seven other nations in the region from March 5th to April 28th this year.

“While construction activity is projected to slow somewhat as a number of
related cricket investment projects are completed, other public and private
sector projects currently underway or about to commence will fill the slack
in the short to medium term and the expected marketing benefits should drive
visitor arrivals,” Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) president Dr. Compton
Bourne said.
