Work to resume on Cabrits Resort and Spa

DOMINICA:  Parliamentary Representative for the Portsmouth Constituency Hon. Ian Douglas has announced that work will resume at the Cabrits Resort and Spa located on 4.5 acres of land between the Purple Turtle Beach and the Cabrits National Park.
Work on the over 50 room hotel which commenced in September of 2011 was temporarily delayed due to changes which were being made within the Moroccan government.
GIS news spoke with the Hon. MP for the Portsmouth Constituency Ian Douglas on Wednesday 6^th April.
“That [the project] is managed and handled by the Moroccans. The funding is like a gift to the Government of Dominica by the Moroccans,” he said.  He said “the Moroccans came to Dominica about five weeks ago to look at the project. They had a thorough tour of the facility and I sat with them to discuss the future of the program. They have given the commitment that they will come back in short order to complete the project.”
The Hon Minister says the Moroccan Government has pledged its continued support towards the completion of the resort.
“They are now at the stage where they are looking at things like the interior décor, the color and type of tile they will be using and the painting they would like. They are also discussing whether they want the hotel to have a West Indian or Arabic feel. I think it was a good discussion and they have gone back to Morocco and they are looking at the materials that they would like to purchase.”
