ST. KITTS IS VIBRANT THIS FALL

Fall in St. Kitts is a time of excitement as the island feverishly prepares for the holiday travel season through exciting events, fabulous promotions, and garnering media buzz surrounding St. Kitts as a premier destination. This November was no exception as St. Kitts Tourism Authority saw great success through a star-studded event in Los Angeles, coverage from several top-tier media outlets, and earned several travel industry awards and recognitions.

To kick off the month, St. Kitts was present at the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 37 th Annual Induction Ceremony in Los Angeles. This year, St. Kitts served as a gifting destination in the Backstage Artists Lounge during rehearsals, with each big-name celebrity receiving personalised, gifted stays at the gorgeous Sunset Reef. With attendance from Bruce Springsteen, Zac Brown, Sara Bareilles, Dr. Dre, and others, this star-studded event supplied St. Kitts with an incredible opportunity to spread awareness across high-end audiences.

St. Kitts continues to be awarded for its unmatched experiences, cuisine, adventures, and
accommodations. St. Kitts was named Best Caribbean Beach Port in Porthole Cruise Magazine’s 2022
Readers’ Choice Awards. November also brought quality media coverage from prestigious outlets like
TripSavvy, which featured Belle Mont Farm as one of the best eco-friendly hotels; U.S. News & World Report, which spotlighted the Music Festival as a top Caribbean festival; and TripAdvisor, which published a stunning feature on St. Kitts' culinary scene.

"We are continuously grateful and inspired by the growing recognition St. Kitts is acquiring across the
world" said Ellison “Tommy” Thomspon, CEO of St. Kitts Tourism Authority. "These awards and
recognitions serve as tangible nods towards the best our beautiful island has to offer, and we are so
excited to continue sharing this magic with all our travellers."

The island was awarded the Best Caribbean Hiking Destination title in the Caribbean Journal’s Travelers’ Choice Awards 2022, the ultimate seal of approval from the world’s foremost experts on Caribbean travel. According to editors at Caribbean Journal, this prestigious recognition signifies the platinum standard of Caribbean tourism excellence.

“We are honoured to be named the Caribbean’s Best Hiking Destination, an award that serves as a testament to our beautiful and diverse landscapes and tourism offerings,” said Melnecia Marshall, DCEO of St. Kitts Tourism Authority. “St. Kitts has continued to see incredible success throughout 2022 and this recognition from Caribbean Journal is empowering to the local community and tour guides that make every journey through our trails unforgettable and award-worthy.”
