The broad policy objective of the Barbados Tourism Sector Plan is "To pursue sustainable tourism development through improvement and optimal use of human resources and services, and through the conservation and managed use of our cultural, built and natural heritage, in order to ensure a product of the highest quality whilst improving the life and economic development of the people of Barbados".

Barbados Tourism Investment Inc.

This infrastructural programme known as the Urban Rehabilitation Programme is now in the execution stage. The programme will be executed over a 5 year period, 2005 - 2010.
