The reports also suggest that four Caribbean countries are lined up to get the massive structure, but the location is not finalized yet. Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia are after the investors to get it in their country. Once the location is decided, the $300 million worth project will transform and increase tourism by three times of the country and it will also boost the inflow of tourists all across the Caribbean.
