BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – “IT is quite rich in history and culture but also abundant with advantages and opportunities for growth and investment. Once you visit, you will understand how the landscape has remained so remarkably unspoilt despite a fast growing tourism industry that boasts first class hotel accommodation and services,”
This is what St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas told nationals of the Federation through citizenship by investment as well as potential investors in the United Arab Emirates last week, when speaking about the opportunities for further investment in the transformation and economic development of the Federation.
He stated that this has been achieved through strategic and creative initiatives by Government which is very committed, despite the accustomed disadvantages of small geographical size, to pursue policies which allow the people of St. Kitts and Nevis the tools and information to participate actively in a global arena.
