Under the topic “Leading the Way-Destination St. Kitts”, the St. Kitts panel highlighted the achievements, practices and roles in sustainable tourism of the Ministry of Tourism, the St. Kitts and Nevis Department of Marine Services and the private and public sectors on St. Kitts.

“The goal of Sustainable Tourism is to provide a consistently outstanding visitor experience through the sustainable development of the human, natural and cultural resources in St. Kitts. In order to maximize opportunity, prosperity, and quality of life for the present and future generations of all citizens,” Mrs. Henry-Morton said.

Mrs.Taylor-Williams expressed that she wants everyone within the federation of St. Kitts- Nevis to incorporate sustainable tourism into their daily lives.

“My dream is to see everyone working towards a future where all tourism is sustainable tourism. All youth, private and public stakeholders, and communities all bring a collective effort to spread sustainable tourism,” Mrs. Taylor-Williams said.

The St. Kitts team ended the presentation by highlighting the Resident Satisfaction Survey and the newly launched Yachting Strategic Plan and Advisory Committee, which caught the attention of some of the delegates who were asking questions.
