Since then, Project Coordinating Units have initiated project activities in each country, including through consultations with project beneficiaries. National project launch events were held in Nov 2017 in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in Jan 2018 in Saint Lucia, and a launch event is being scheduled for Grenada. Priority technical activities have included planning for investments in tourism assets (downtown Castries redevelopment in Saint Lucia, Fort George in Grenada, and Fort Charlotte in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) in Component 2 and planning for the regional ferry pilot for regional movement of people in Component 1. Given recent project effectiveness, it is still too early a stage to report on specific progress towards the development objectives. The project has an associated OECS Tourism Market Intelligence grant activity financed by a trust fund attached to the lending project. This grant activity seeks to strengthen tourism data and analysis capacity in the region, and has already successfully established a web-based regional data tool. Two major hurricanes in the OECS in 2017 caused implementation delays, and resulted in a requested extension of the closing date from December 2017 to May 2018 to allow completion of training activities and conducting a hackathon event to strengthen usage of the data tool. This extension was granted and resulted in a Level 2 restructuring of the entire lending project.
