St Kitts Tourism Authority (SKTA) held a week-long visit to the UK with events for operators and agents to learn about the destination.
The visit began with Unite Caribbean in London earlier this month, where SKTA held meetings with 21 UK tour operators.
This was followed by a Caribbean by the Coast in Bexhill-on-Sea for 30 agents, and a dedicated travel agent event at the Ivy Chelsea Garden in London for another 25 agents and homeworkers.
The London event was the first in a series of quarterly trade events that SKTA will hold in partnership with Nevis Tourism Authority, this year.
During the events there were prize draws, with agents taking home goodies including a fam trip and Kittitian rum.

St Kitts Tourism Authority CEO Kelly Fontenelle said: “Last year, we shifted our trade focus from one annual trade roadshow to a series of quarterly in-person events with travel agents and tour operators. It has proved highly successful, and we are continuing that strategy for 2025, alongside other activities, including increased visits to retail travel agencies, training via webinars, incentives and fam visits.”
