The tourism authority is anticipating to attract large number of visitors to the island nation. It will further play a significant role in expanding the tourism revenue, ensuring growth and sustainability of the local economy. 

Saint Lucia is considered as the Caribbean’s Leading Adventure Tourism, Nature and Honeymoon Destination. The implementation of such initiative shed light on the continuous efforts of the authorities towards showcasing and preserving Saint Lucia’s rich and vibrant culture. The initiative will also be very crucial in promoting awareness and education about the island nation’s rich cultural heritage of the nation.

The development and acknowledgement of Saint Lucia as one of the best tourist destinations by many tourist experts is a testament to the unwavering commitment and dedication of the Minister towards elevating the nation to greater heights.
