Blue Lagoon Temporarily Closed

Since the popular Blue Lagoon was declared temporarily closed on Monday, the parties involved are left concerned regarding the sustenance of their livelihoods until it reopens.  

The attraction which is slated to undergo three (3) restorative phases, will be focusing on upgrading its structure to enhance the overall experience, while also training staff. 

President of the Blue Lagoon Alliance Collin Beckford says, he supports the closure because it seeks to benefit staff, and tourists long-term. However, he laments the financial strains the closure will cause for employees. Beckford says construction is slated to begin, with the primary focus being the most urgent areas. 

As he anticipates the reopening, he hopes the date will not be extended, and that officials will be able to deliver on their promises. The first batch of training will take place on September 15; a three-day program for craft vendors. More details here:
