Roadway in Rose HallThe Rose Hall roadway has been regarded for being accident prone to passing motorists. To respond to this concern, Edmund Bartlett the Minister of Tourism formulated the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF). The latter was regarded to be the foundation associated with funding of the Rose Hall roadway, estimated to be $300 million. The amount needed to improve the roads was stated to be more costly than a hotel built in East Central.

Unknown to many, the said project would divide the money in a strategic manner. The landscaping of the whole area was estimated at $100 million, while the remaining $200 million would be used for the lighting of the area. Since the land area included in the said project was vast, several properties would be included, such as the Half Moon, Ritz-Carlton, and the sandals Royal Caribbean.
