Tourism is the main sector and it contributes considera-bly to the economic growth and development of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
There have been challenges faced by the industry both internally and externally asit strives to develop the product offerings of the destination. Moreover, there is agrowing concern for quality of products and services as the tourism industry accel-erates at a fast pace, it is therefore now more competitive than before, hence a level of standard and quality is required.
Therefore, in attempt to compete within such a robust industry the government approached Jewel’s Projects and Consul- tancy Firm (JPC) to develop the above-mentioned Project Management Plan.
The Project Management Plan for the construction of the Craft and Souvenir Vil-lage was developed as a methodical document with relevant tools techniques,suitable knowledge areas and methodologies as a guide to solve the unavailabilityand the lack of infrastructure that is required to provide the opportunity for socialand economic growth of the artisans and likewise the destination.
Also, the Project Management Plan was created to provide good practices and proper guidance to the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The specific objectives of the project are: to create a project charter in order to de- fine the key input elements to develop the project management plan; to develop a scope management plan in order to ensure that all the work related to the project is completed successfully; to create a schedule management plan to ensure that all deliverables are completed within scheduled time; to develop a cost management plan that ensures proper budget allocation and disbursement of funds throughout the project life cycle; to formulate a quality management plan so as to identify the quality requirements for the project and to ensure that the quality of the delivera- bles meet expectations for approval within the time, cost and scope constraints; to design a communication management plan in an effort to ensure a level of efficacy as it regards to communication of the project status and other important infor-mation; to develop a stakeholder management plan in which stakeholders will be identified in an attempt to gain effective stakeholder engagement; and to develop a risk management plan in an attempt to identify risks and develop responses to min- imize the likelihood of the risks on the project.
Both primary and secondary data collection sources served as a basis for this re-search. Qualitative data was collected from mainly periodicals, specifically, books,journals and Newsletters. While, quantitative data was collected from surveys and statistical reports. It is imperative that the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines takes into consideration the prepared Project Management Plan for the construction of the Craft and Souvenir Village for its successful implementation and execution of such a critical project to the tourism industry.
The overall success of the project is crucial, therefore continuity is paramount sothe following recommendation have been made to the Ministry of Tourism, Sports and Culture: A regenerative approach to development is fundamental in this era, therefore, training could be facilitated to all artisans so that the sector is developed and sustained using good practices and principles related to this approach.
The methodologies and good practices provided in the PMBOK Guide were the basis for the successful drafting of the objectives that were developed and fulfilled in the CSV Project Management Plan. Therefore, this project could be used as the benchmark for the development of future projects.
