From Cable Car to Community development programmes, ABL Holdings stand tall
Climbing up with the aim to make Dominica home to the world’s longest mono-cable car, ABL Holdings Ltd, is making significant strides, positioning itself as the major contributor towards national growth and development.
It is to be noted that the company is at the forefront, transforming the island state into the premier destination for tourism within the Caribbean. Furthermore, the cable car project, once completed is likely to generate hundreds of employment opportunities for locals, bringing long term positive impact to the economic sector.
In addition to the record-breaking world’s longest mono-cable car construction, ABL Holding’s remains committed in supporting the local community as well as the nation as a whole. Since the beginning of the construction of the cable car, the company’s involvement in sponsoring numerous initiatives designed to improve the local community is being appreciated by all.
These efforts include the regular maintenance of the boiling lake trail and the Waitukubuli trail, which connects the island from one side to another and is a major tourist attraction.
Ensuring that all of the roads are easily accessible for tourists and locals, ABL Holding’s work in repairing the roads and thereby improving access across the island can be evidently seen within Laudat and surrounding areas.
Furthermore the company’s involvement in boosting the local sports facilities could be witnessed through its efforts towards the enhancement of the playing field in village of Laudat. Alongside this, the company has also sponsored soccer tournaments for the Roseau valley teams. These tournaments have provided young athletes with the chance to showcase their talents, which could set a positive example for the next generation of sporting stars.
The project manager of cable car Project, Randall Gliege said that, “We have assembled a fine team of workers who are committed to the project and the upkeep of the local areas. Workers who are working in the jungle are ensuring that the trail remains clean and inviting for hikers. We are doing this by cutting any overgrown bushes and are installing steps wherever required, to ensure that it is easy for people to walk on the trail.”
“We are not only building the world’s longest mono-cable car, but we are also taking care of the local community on this island, by supporting them whenever needed. We’re trying our best to preserve the natural beauty of the island,” says Gliege.
Moreover, the company’s efforts are not going unnoticed, as ABL Holdings Ltd has recently completed fencing work of the Trafalgar community center playground. Alongside this, the company has also made a significant contribution towards the renovation of the elderly home in Galion by conducting paintwork to improve the aesthetic of the facility.
In addition, ABL has also supported a local resident Mr. Benjamin of Laudat, by repairing the elderly gentleman’s roof and after it caught fire under unfortunate circumstances.
Elsewhere, the company has also made a generous donation to the Marine Society Coral Restoration in Soufriere to help preserve the diverse range of underwater fauna and flora.
Dominican residents have also expressed their gratitude towards ABL Holdings Ltd for their work in supporting the local community and have projected that the cable car will bring a positive impact not only to the economy of the nation but also to the overall well-being of the island.
