Yesterday marked the opening of the 2024/2025 cruise season, a momentous occasion for our tourism sector. The grand opening ceremony featured remarks from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Hon. Dr. Ernest Hilaire, and representatives from key agencies who continue to support the development of Saint Lucia, as a leading cruise destination. As the landlord of Duty Free Pointe Seraphine Shopping Complex, our CEO, Mr. Octavian Charles, commended the dedication and collaboration of everyone involved in the essential role of enhancing the experience of every traveler who visits the island. He stated that every ship that docks at our port brings with it an opportunity to showcase not just Saint Lucia’s top-notch retail experiences, but the warmth, hospitality and “joie de vivre” that makes our island unique. As we embark on this season, we are excited not only for the business opportunities that lie ahead but also for the opportunity to enrich the lives of those who visit us. #investsaintlucia #investment #saintlucia #makeityourown #cruiseseason

Happy World Tourism Day! This #WorldTourismDay, we’re embracing the theme “Tourism and Peace” by preserving our cultural heritage through a beautification project at our Duty Free Pointe Seraphine Shopping Complex. As we gear up for an exciting cruise season, our team planted an array of flowers near the berth, among these were the island’s national flowers. Tourism not only benefits our economy but also nurtures our heritage for future generations. #saintlucia #investsaintlucia #sustainableinvestments #tourismforpeace #WTD2024 #cruisetourism #sustainabletourism #culturalpreservation

Our team conducted a routine site visit to assess the progress of one of our ongoing tourism investment projects. During this visit, we closely reviewed construction milestones, discussed project timelines, and challenges that may impact the project. We are pleased to report that the project is progressing as planned, with several key components already taking shape. Project site visits are an essential step in what we do, marking a pivotal moment in the agency’s journey to improve our local economy and create new opportunities for the island. Stay tuned for more updates as we eagerly await the positive impact it will have on our local economy. #investsaintlucia #saintlucia #tourismdevelopment #sustainablegrowth #tourism #projects #sitevisits #investment Shirlyn Victoria Elliodore BSc, MSc, MCIM Camille Michel Zacchaeus Joseph

In July 2024, Saint Lucia experienced a significant tourism boost, welcoming 41,476 visitors—a remarkable 32% increase from the previous year. This surge is attributed to the vibrant Lucian Carnival, American Airlines' introduction of a second daily flight from Miami, and JetBlue's additional daily flight from New York. The US market led this influx with a 52% rise month-on-month, while notable increases were also seen from the UK, Caribbean, and Canada. #tourismpulse #saintlucia #letherinspireyou

Over the three-day event, we attended discussions on sustainable agriculture, green economy transition, and digitalization of businesses.
