Financing has been secured from the World Bank, towards the implementation of the OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness Project (ORTCP). The Project principally aims to improve selected tourist sites in Castries. In this regard the Government of Saint Lucia has identified the Castries City Tourism Product as a priority for Saint Lucia with targeted investment sites and activities aimed at making downtown Castries more pleasant and attractive to tourists as well as to Saint Lucian residents. Therefore, as part of the ORTCP, the Government of Saint Lucia intends to implement several investment initiatives to revitalize downtown Castries. In keeping with this intention, the GoSL has prioritized the Derek Walcott Square as a pull factor with tremendous potential to increase the number of visitors in the Castries City Centre. Notwithstanding its potential, the GoSL has recognized that in order to fully leverage the opportunities for increased visitation by both locals and visitors, the Square would require some enhancement in order to make it more aesthetically appealing. This initiative is in keeping with the recommendation proposed in the Castries 2030 Vision Plan for the “Re-Landscaping of the Derek Walcott Square”
