Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Kenny Anthony and the Trade and Services Exhibition Committee members touring the site of the upcoming ExhibitionOn a tour of the site Wednesday twenty-eighth January 2004, Dr Anthony said he was pleased with the level of organisation. He said the Saint Lucia Chamber of Commerce - organisers of the event - had done well in the arrangements for security, manpower deployment and infrastructural enhancement of the area to host the exhibition.

The Trade and Services Exhibition, will see a display of goods produced in Saint Lucia. The Chamber is hoping the event will have the effect of increasing awareness of locally produced goods. It is hoped that the heightened awareness will translate into increased consumption of goods manufactured in Saint Lucia.

On Monday second February 2004, booths will be officially handed over to the businesses participating in the exhibition. The participants are expecting that the event will provide an opportunity to interface with the many overseas buyers who are expected to visit the exhibition.
