Barbados’ premier attraction Harrison’s Cave may be operated by a highly-rated Jamaican tourism company.
The Saturday Sun understands that the leading tourism tour adventure company, Chukka, is the favoured tenderer to manage the St Thomas site.

Symmonds explained the transaction was being done that way “because there are a number of very sensitive issues which I think have to be dealt with in the fullest glare of transparency”. (GC)
