Vending at Buccament Bay will be regulated as tourism expands in the area.

In a press release issued today (January 17), the Agency for Public Information said:

“In an interview with the Agency for Public Information, Area Representative for Central Leeward, Dr. Orando Brewster, said there will be regulations with regards to vending on Buccament Bay so that it becomes more structured”.

Mr. Brewster is also the Minister of National Mobilization, Social Development, Family, Gender Affairs, Youth, Housing, and Informal Human Settlement.

“We would have to have a meeting with all the stakeholders involved, the fishermen, the business owners so we can regulate the area…we would have that date set very early this year before the tourist season is over and we will have a meeting with everyone so that we can live and let each other live,” Brewster said, according to the API’s press release.

“The Minister also added that Buccament and Central Leeward, is becoming a hub for tourism, and with development at Jackson Bay scheduled to begin soon, tourism on that part of the island will certainly take off,” the API said.

“Dr. Brewster said all of this is being buttressed by the multi-million-dollar investment by Sandals Resort at Buccament Bay which is scheduled to be opened in March of this year,” the API said.
