Noahs Ark Attraction rises in Kentucky pasture
In Williamstown Kentucky the Ark Encounter project by Answers in Genesis begins with foundation pillars and ribs for a 510 foot Noahs ark. Ken Ham says the vast structure will draw visitors next year as private funding tops $70 million of nearly $90 million planned. The project faced funding delays and state tax incentive disputes, with legal action ongoing and officials skeptical of funding religious indoctrination.

Caribbean officials seek US Cuba tourism partnership
Caribbean tourism leaders warn rising U S Cuba travel will trim regional visitor counts. Frank Comito of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association urges a Caribbean Basin Tourism Initiative modeled on a historic US program to boost investment and travel, arguing a united approach benefits all, including Cuba. Public statements note Cuba’s 36 percent rise in U S visitors this year and potential impacts on Jamaica Cayman Islands and the Bahamas. Cayman Islands Tourism Minister Moses Kirkconnell argues a Cuba opening raises awareness but notes limited American travel categories to Cuba.
