The United Nations World Tourism Organization, or UNWTO, has published ratings of the popular countries for visiting this year. According to the statistics in March (which were recently analyzed and became available for public view), Saint Lucia was put in the top-five destinations in the Caribbean. The travel industry has been recovering all over the world for the last two years after the global lockdown, and, according to the statistics, the Caribbean islands are the leading region in the recovering tourist market. Its recovery rate is currently at 61.5%, which makes it twice as high as the world’s tourism recovery rate. More than half of the visitors to Saint Lucia are coming from the UK.
The numbers are really encouraging and a testament to the people who work tirelessly in the tourism industry in Saint Lucia. Our aim is to ensure that the growth trajectory is sustainable and benefits our people through employment and in come generation, as well as providing the best experience for our visitors.
In order to consolidate its progress, Saint Lucia’s tourism authority is now focusing on advertising that should attract visitors from all over the world. It is also notable that entering Saint Lucia for tourists is much easier now because most of the anti-covid restrictions were cancelled or weakened.
