Basseterre April 13, 2010 :The membership of the St Kitts and Nevis Hotel and Tourism Association is deeply saddened by the tragic death of Jim Johnson. Everyone that knew Jim will be horrified at the way he met his end.

Jim was the ultimate ambassador for Nevis, his energy and commitment to the Island was shown in the Fall of 2009 with the launching of the Nevis Pirate Festival. For his efforts with the Pirate Festival Jim was given an honorary membership of the HTA. All that had been on one of his tours will have known his knowledge and his enthusiasm for the Island of Nevis and anything to do with its nature and history.

He will be greatly missed and our condolences go out to his family at this time.

End
