Youth PATH is a program designed to assist disadvantaged young persons ages 15-25 to optimize economic opportunities, create socio-economic empowerment, and enhance the value of sustainable heritage tourism sites. Young persons in poor communities of the Caribbean are trained in the development and documentation of natural and cultural heritage sites in order for these sites to become centres of internal or international tourism and in so doing, develop entrepreneurial skills for income generation.
The Youth PATH National Advisory Committee has proposed CAPISTERRE, St. Kitts as the targeted site for the Youth PATH project. This area comprises the Belmont Estate in St. Paul's and the Black Rocks, around which the Youth PATH project would be focused. Would you please give your feedback on the selection of these sites?
Do you think the Capisterre region is ideal for the Youth PATH project?
In your opinion how would the Youth PATH project assist the youth and enhance the area?
Do you think that there is an alternate site that would be ideal for the Youth PATH project?
In your opinion why would this site be ideal?
