St. Kitts is renowned for its beautiful beaches, warm waters, sunny skies and friendly people.
The recognition took place in February and Minister of Tourism, the Honourable Lindsay Grant said St. Kitts and Nevis continues to make waves internationally.
“Our strategic airlift marketing to grow air service into the Federation from key target gateways has been recognized for excellence. As the smallest country in the western hemisphere, it is significant that we were shortlisted from among destinations with much larger marketing budgets, including Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc.; Charleston (South Carolina) Area CVB; Hawaii Tourism Authority; Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority; and San Diego Tourism Authority,” Minister Grant added.
The annual Routes Marketing Awards Ceremony recognizes excellence in airport and destination marketing. They are highly regarded as the most prestigious awards in the aviation industry, as they are voted for and judged by the airline network planning community. Airlines voted for the marketing services that support the successful launch of new routes or the development of existing ones, and were instructed to vote for the organizations whose marketing efforts during the last twelve (12) months made a real impact on their future network development plans.
According to www.routesonline.com, St. Kitts as a destination is described as “intoxicating natural beauty, sunny skies, warm waters, and white sandy beaches.” These qualities, the website says, “combine to make St. Kitts one of the most seductive spots in the Caribbean.”
