OUR PROJECTS
Barbados Trailways
We helped build the amenities, shade shelters, and parking that make this nature trail a haven for health, heritage, and recreation.
Fueling Sports Tourism
We’ve helped build and outfit the Olympic-standard Hockey Pavilion, putting Barbados on the international sporting map.
Lush Highways
Those rows of swaying palm trees along the ABC, Mighty Grynner Highway, and Ronald map Highway? That’s TDC at work—funded by members, creating beauty that welcomes every traveler and lifts local pride.
CCTV Surveillance Systems
With the BHTA and Police, we funded critical security camera installations in Oistins, St. Lawrence Gap, and the West Coast—keeping you and our visitors safe.
