Dolphin Park Still Hanging In The Air!

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he proposed dolphin park to be fashioned by Dolphin Discovery at Pigeon Island National Landmark was not so long ago a hot topic. But the prime minister remained adamant: “If it’s not at the proposed Pigeon Island location,” he said, “then it may be somewhere else.”

It would appear the Saint Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association, the Saint Lucia National Trust and the tourism ministry, when it comes to the project, may still not be singing in harmony.  “The National Trust is a member of SLHTA,” a reliable source ventured this week on the STAR’s promise of anonymity, “and the SLHTA is highly affiliated with the Ministry of Tourism. In our role we have to stay neutral; we have to be careful in how we get involved in the lobbying.” Lesson learned from the recent past, perhaps?

According to an SLHTA source: “The National Trust is trying to stop it but, from the information we have, the dolphin park is scheduled to happen.” The source could not confirm location. Attempts at confirmation from the horse’s mouth received this terse response: “That’s a question for the prime minister!”
