CHINESE TO BUILD ANTIGUA’S FIRST MEGA RESORT
Chinese investors are to plunge more than US$1 billion (S$1.25 billion) into developing Antigua and Barbuda's first mega resort, creating 1,000 jobs for the tiny cash-strapped nation. Construction on the mammoth 1,600-acre (647-hectare) multi-hotel, residential and commercial project is slated to begin early next year.
