The 30 eco-lodges at Diamond, East Bank Demerara that were scheduled to be completed in time for the local leg of Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2023 will be finished at a later date, due to significant changes in foundation works along with new management.
In an earlier report, Stabroek News noted that the project which began in June, was being constructed under the auspices of the Ministry of Housing by DuraVilla Homes, a local construction company in collaboration with consultants from a company in the United Arab Emirates.
This initiative was part of the agenda to support 120 women in business and it is expected that these women will be undertaking the management of the lodges. Originally slated to cater to the influx of tourists for ‘Cricket Carnival’ by September 7, the eco-lodges were designed to provide travellers with a unique and sustainable lodging experience.
