The
work includes the renovation of the existing facility, the addition of modern
rooms to facilitate rum tastings, an expansive retail store, and a restaurant
and lounge offering Appleton-infused Jamaica cuisine. Gruppo Campari is also looking to
revive a rail service for the tour by 2017 – which was dropped in the
1990's. This will allow the number of
visitors to be tripled. The group
is also looking at plans to offer a small-scale hotel in the near future.
The upgrading of the facility and its
expansion by another 25,000 square feet is expected to be complete by October
2017.
