Economic History	Barbados	Real activity in the construction sector expanded by an estimated 4 percent, compared with 5.7 percent growth in 1999 and double-digit increases in 1997 and 1998. The comparative 2000 slowdown was mitigated by the continued high level of tourism-related investment projects (the Sandy Lane Hotel, the Royal Westmoreland Golf Course and condominiums, and the Port St. Charles Marina.) Public sector activity included the South Coast Sewerage Project, the Grantley Adams Airport expansion, school refurbishments for the EDUTECH 2000 (computers in the classroom), and road repair.
