St. Kitts & Nevis was amongst the 200 destinations participating in the World Travel Market 2007 in London this week.
One highlight of the destination’s presence at the event was the launch of the Explore St. Kitts/Nevis Travel Agent Competition 2007/2008. This is a partnership between the Tourism Authorities of both islands and over 27 private sector
stakeholders.
On November 14 & 15, agents were participating in quizzes at the stand, learning interesting facts on the two islands, winning spot prizes and then getting a chance to win the PRIZE OF THE DAY.
On Wednesday, Jacquie Bowker of Global Travel won a 7-night stay at Oualie Beach Resort in Nevis for 2 persons as well as 2 tickets to ride aboard the ‘Sugar Train’ in St. Kitts.

‘One of the aims of the competition is to remind the travel trade of the tourism product of St. Kitts/Nevis and give them the opportunity to personally experience the two islands.
The tourism partners have donated generous prizes, which have peaked the interest of the agents. The program is definitely off to a good start’ Lisa Elmes-Bosshard, Consultant, St. Kitts Tourism Authority.
The Explore St. Kitts/Nevis Competition runs until July 2008. A drawing will be done every two months giving UK-based agents opportunities to explore the destination.
