Just announced that a Chinese company was the low bidder on the airport extension. 150M They will use Chinese workers, trucks and materials. This should be interesting in that locals will not be building the airport. I guess they will not be paying into the NHI medical funds either or BVI social security. I suspect this project will not be over budget. Don't know where the money will come from. Interesting times. Hope Southwest comes in with their new purchase of 500 more planes. That would change things for the better in the BVI. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
