Manniram Prashad, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce has commissioned new and refurbished facilities at No. 63 Beach, Corentyne.
Prashad said that these facilities will add to the visitor’s comfort and experience at the beach.
This project was made possible through several public/private partnerships. No. 63 Beach, the main tourist attraction in Berbice, now boasts four benabs, two washroom facilities, two changing rooms and three pavilions.
He added that Cortours, a local tour operator in Berbice, has already committed to building a pavilion to add to these facilities.
Minister Prashad also encouraged other businesses to invest in other similar beach facilities.
These facilities were handed over to the No. 63 Beach Committee which is now tasked with recruiting rangers and cleaners to monitor the area, especially during weekends and holidays.
The Minister also urged the committee to be proactive in raising funds which will go toward maintenance of the facilities. He also urged the residents of Berbice to take good care of these facilities which have been built for their comfort and enjoyment.
No.63 Beach on average per week receives 4,000 visitors.
It gets 20,000 visitors on special occasions such as Independence Day and Easter Monday.
The Minister noted that the opening of the Berbice River Bridge has resulted in a high influx of people into Region Six, particularly to enjoy the beach, making its upgrade an essential one.
