Business activity linked to the International Cricket Council Men’s T20 World Cup is currently “slow”, but the private sector is hopeful that this will change “very rapidly” as the tournament approaches.
That is the word from Barbados Private Sector Association (BPSA) chairman Trisha Tannis, who anticipates that the tourism sector and food-related businesses will be some of the main beneficiaries of the increased economic activity.
Kensington will host the World Cup Final on June 29. Before then, the iconic stadium stages five Group games from June 2 to 8 and three Super Eight matches from June 20 to 23. (SC)
