After a packed day of events across Tobago on Tuesday, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC concluded her official engagements with the sod-turning ceremony for the proposed Marriott Hotel and Conference Centre at Rocky Point, Mt Irvine.
The TT$540 million privately financed project, which comes at no cost to taxpayers, will feature a 200-room Marriott hotel, conference facilities and 67 residential units.
The development is expected to create approximately 600 construction jobs and between 500 and 800 jobs once operational, while generating significant opportunities for local businesses and entrepreneurs.
