Bolans and the Green Corridor

Bolans and the Green Corridor

Bolans is one of the two named places along the Green Corridor: the corridor runs along Antigua’s southwest coast from the village of Bolans to the village of John Hughes. This connects Bolans to a specific place while also linking it to a regional theme that extends beyond the village. If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Bolans, you can weigh your preferred place to stay separately from the broader view of the southwest coast. Bolans is the specific point of reference; the Green Corridor describes the wider regional context.

The Green Corridor is a designated area in Antigua that highlights and promotes businesses directly and indirectly connected with tourism, provided they have agreed to its principles. These include respect for local culture, positive impacts on the local community, environmental protection, and economic viability. So, in addition to its geographical route, the initiative’s thematic scope includes cultural, community, environmental, and economic aspects. The Green Corridor was launched in July 2017 during the International Year of Sustainable Tourism.
