WILLEMSTAD - The thirteen tourist stalls near the Rif Fort will be demolished as of September 1. According to the government, the stalls along the water are no longer safe.
The safety inspection has ruled on Wednesday that no more commercial activities can take place at the stalls. For example, people could injure themselves from protrusions and the tables are corroded.
It has taken more than a year to raise funds for the demolition of the stalls, according to Fundashon Director Marshe Emly Francisca. In 2019, the poorly maintained stalls were already mentioned in the development plan for market buildings and areas in the inner city.
After the demolition, no new stalls will be placed on Brionplein. The sellers can visit the Sha Caprileskade from 1 September.
