PORTS OF CALL

The Creation of a Port Destination

The definition of a Port of Call is a place where a ship might immediately stop to load or unload cargo and has traditionally been industrial and commercial in use and appearance. IDEA, Inc.'s definition of a Port of Call is a port that is part of a Guest Experience or itinerary. IDEA Ports of Call are comprehensive Guest Experience-driven environments that also include Land-Side Commercial Development. These Ports become extensions of the community and include retail, and food and beverage outlets, as well as Residential Components. They have a sense of arrival, sense of place, and establish a place in time for arriving Guests. Our Ports of Call not only facilitate the arrival of Guests, they embrace them. By re-creating themselves into world class Destinations reflecting the location's culture and energy, tomorrow's Ports will provide a truly memorable and compelling Guest Experience with a commanding Brand that will have Tourists asking for them by name.

PORT OF CASTRIES Castries, St. Lucia Site Scope: 3 miles waterfront property, 125 acres Known as the "Helen of the West Indies", St. Lucia has changed hands between the French and the British more than fourteen times. As with her counterpart, Helen of Troy, the commanding desire was for control of the coveted Port of Castries. St. Lucia today is a heady blend of Amerindian, European, and African culture. IDEA presents a groundbreaking concept for this West Indian gem which centers around its Capitol City - Castries. Starting from Port Castries'exceptional horseshoe shaped harbour and expanding outward into the city, the IDEA Vision Plan gives St. Lucia the vitality and accessibility that allows it to truly shine. Port Castries offers Guests the best of St. Lucia with a variety of waterfront developments featuring cafes, shopping, boutique hotels, dining, and entertainment winding around a three-mile promenade. The Vision for the Harbour Waterfront includes a Pirate Themed Village at Point Seraphine, yacht club and marina, a formal Government Plaza, and Ville Carnage, a pedestrian extension of the redeveloped downtown. Further development involves the reclamation and development of two additional cruise berths and a Mixed-Use Village, Queen's Crown Point. Spectacular parks intersect with vibrant avenues infused with St. Lucia's unique and colorful cultural heritage. Significant restructuring of major roadways and pedestrian walkways will allow the city to be explored and enjoyed as never before. IDEA's high-concept for Castries combines principles of functionality and preservation to reinvent the gateway to St. Lucia benefiting both residents and Guests, alike. Working closely with governmental agencies to stimulate economic growth, IDEA's Vision Plan for the revitalization of Castries will transform the Capitol into a thriving multi-cultural Waterfront Business, Residential, and Tourist Destination. Historic site and community institution renovations, such as Castries Market and George V. Park Botanical Gardens, have breathed new life into local iconic favorites.

HISTORIC FALMOUTH JAMAICA

Falmouth, Jamaica
Site Scope: 35 acres

Honored visions of a celebrated past served as the inspiration for IDEA's Historic Falmouth Jamaica Project, a strategic design concept created to reinvigorate the inherent charm of Falmouth, Jamaica. As one of the Caribbean's most historic and well-preserved Cities, IDEA's key focus was to return Falmouth to its original 18th century glory days as one of the busiest Ports in Jamaica celebrating her people and preserving her unique history, culture, and architectural design. Drawing from similarly preserved cities such as Williamsburg, Virginia, and Savannah, Georgia, Historic Falmouth Jamaica will be an enchanting blend of authentically restored Georgian architecture infused with lavish tropical details. A Georgian-styled restoration of the sea wall, wharf district, and pedestrian waterfront commercial district, launched IDEA's historic restorations by establishing a waterfront promenade area to feature historic attractions such as the recreated Foundry Yard of Falmouth and the authentically restored Tharp House. Throughout Falmouth, Guest transportation is period appropriate with the Historic Falmouth Trolley and horse-drawn carriages setting the scene as Guests explore a rich variety of shopping, dining, and historic attractions set along the brick paved streets. Excursions from Falmouth abound including the Orange Valley Estate, Greenwood Great House, and a replicated Jamaican rum factory tour. Offering a distinctive environment within the niche of Caribbean Destinations, Historic Falmouth Jamaica captures the allure of a laidback tropical atmosphere while the fascinating history and charm is emphasized to create a rare and unforgettable Guest Experience.
