Following the destruction of Montserrat’s main infrastructure on the southern side of the island, construction has featured heavily in the economy due to redevelopment.
However, in the island’s Sustainable Development Plan tourism is highlighted as the sector that is key to Montserrat’s economic recovery.
An essential part of this strategy is the development of north of the island, in particular Little Bay, to provide additional accommodation and more facilities for tourists. In addition, the new
parliament building and a multi purpose sports centre will be constructed in the area. The Little Bay development will be the responsibility of the Montserrat Development Corporation which will be established later this year.
