St. Kitts and Nevis is gearing up to celebrate a tourism milestone, with over one million visitors expected this season. This achievement marks a significant recovery for the Federation’s tourism sector, demonstrating its resilience and the effectiveness of targeted government strategies in rebuilding the industry post-pandemic.
During a recent interview on Freedom FM’s Issues programme, Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew praised the efforts of Minister of Tourism, Marsha Henderson, for her leadership in revitalising the sector.
“Tourism in St. Kitts and Nevis is back and stronger than ever. We anticipate over one million visitors this season, a testament to our resilience and vision,” he remarked.
Key Drivers Behind Tourism Success
The anticipated tourism boom is attributed to several strategic measures implemented by the government:

- Health and Safety Confidence: Robust measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of travellers, positioning St. Kitts and Nevis as a secure and desirable destination.
Investment Talks to Secure Long-term Growth
Looking to sustain this growth trajectory, Prime Minister Drew announced plans to travel to Miami for high-level discussions on tourism investments. The talks, slated for early December, aim to attract partnerships and capital to further enhance the sector’s offerings.
“We are committed to building a tourism industry that is sustainable, inclusive, and beneficial to all citizens,” Dr. Drew stated.
Updates from these critical discussions are expected on 3rd December, reflecting the government’s focus on fostering long-term growth and cementing St. Kitts and Nevis as a premier destination in the Caribbean.
A Bright Future for Tourism
With strategic investments, marketing innovation, and a focus on infrastructure, St. Kitts and Nevis is well-positioned to capitalise on the tourism surge. The government’s dedication to inclusivity ensures that this resurgence benefits citizens while further enhancing the Federation’s global appeal.
