The Caribbean destination of St Kitts is creating a buzz in regional tourism circles at this time with its newly launched destination identity and a slew of global accolades. 

The destination is also receiving much traction from its new tourism brand campaign, Venture Deeper, which was launched last month.

The new tourism campaign, zeroes in on its unique qualities for the modern traveler, from lush rainforests and a vibrant art scene to historic marvels and a burgeoning farm-to-table movement.

The campaign is also complimented by the growing hotel sector from the new flagship Park Hyatt St Kitts resort (the only Park Hyatt resort in the entire Caribbean) to the new getaways like Hilton’s Koi Resort and the just-debuted, stunning new Sunset Reef.

CARIBBEAN DESTINATION CONTINUING TO RACK UP GLOBAL AWARDS 

With the Caribbean destination continuing to rack up global awards from top media, focusing on everything from the Park Hyatt St Kitts to a top spot as a hiking and diving destination, no doubt it is buzzing in regional tourism circles. The island is also getting great news on the airlift front. 

Following a visit by the St Kitts Tourism Authority to the global Routes World conference, officials confirmed that Delta Air Lines will be returning its fall and winter service between Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport and the island’s Robert L Bradshaw International Airport. This is in addition to the reinforcement of relationships with American Airlines, the island’s largest carrier, and British Airways. 

On the cruise front, the island’s Port Zante continues as one of the fastest growing ports in the wider region.

“We have an innovative new tourism product in development that will capture leisure travellers’ attention and make St Kitts stand out as a premier Caribbean destination.”
