Tourism officials from Saint Lucia participated in the 2022 Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) annual conference, held in the Cayman Islands from September 11 to 15. The annual conference brought together CTO members to discuss and plan key items relevant to the advancement of the tourism industry and member states.
Leading Saint Lucia’s delegation was Tourism Minister, the Hon. Dr. Ernest Hilaire. He was accompanied by the CEO of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority, Lorine Charles-St. Jules. The delegation participated in a Destination Briefing to regional and international media, CTO Business Meetings, and a Grand Cayman familiarization tour.
Sustainable Airlift continues to be a pivotal growth strategy for stimulating the continued recovery of Saint Lucia’s tourism product.
As part of the CTO conference, the Airlift Committee of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority headed by Paul Collymore and Research and Development Manager- Roselieu Augustin, attended the Caribbean Aviation Day symposium hosted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on September 14.

High on the agenda was a discussion on the challenges and opportunities of this sector, the recovery of the region, and enhancing the benefits of aviation in the Caribbean.
Saint Lucia, having achieved 80 percent of its overall recovery compared to 2019, anticipates a well-performing fall tourism season with increased non-stop airlift from Toronto (YYZ) by way of Sunwing, Air Canada, and WestJet.
From the United States, service continues from Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, Miami, New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia. From London, Virgin Atlantic will reintroduce service from Heathrow (LHR) on October 31, and non-stop airlift will continue with British Airways and TUI from Gatwick (LGW).
During the Conference, Charles-St Jules added another layer of accomplishment to her tourism leadership portfolio when she was pinned as one of the newest Board of Directors of the Caribbean Tourism Organization. She will serve in the newly appointed capacity until 2024.
An exciting component of the annual conference is the Regional Tourism Youth Congress where Junior Ministers and Commissioners of Tourism around the region participate in a two-round competition.
Saint Lucia’s Junior Minister of Tourism, 15-year-old Jassie Thomas of the Vieux Fort Comprehensive Secondary School, competed against nine junior ministers, delivering a speech centered around the topic “Community Based Tourism”.
The 2022 CTO conference reinforced Saint Lucia’s position on the continuous development of its sustainable airlift and targeted marketing strategy for the island’s tourism sector.

Il manque toujours des places d’accueil pour les enfants de moins de 3 ans en Martinique. L’ouverture de la micro-crèche « Les P’tits Pilotes », quartier Rollin, offre une nouvelle opportunité aux parents du secteur.
Les responsables de la micro-crèche « Les P’tits Pilotes » ont invité, dernièrement, la municipalité et quelques personnalités à visiter les installations qui accueillent 12 enfants de moins de 3 ans, encadrés par 4 éducatrices. Pour mener à bien ce projet, la directrice Tracy Vigilant et son équipe ont dû faire preuve de patience et de persévérance car la création d’une telle structure est assujettie à une réglementation stricte.

JAHMARE Nesbit, son of murdered security guard Jerry Winston Stuart, says he will forgive the men responsible for his father’s death, but it will take a long time.
Nesbit’s father was shot and killed outside the Pennywise Super Centre on La Bel Air Road, La Romaine on Monday. Nesbit knows his father would have forgiven those responsible in a heartbeat.
Speaking to the media at the Forensic Sciences Centre on Wednesday, Nesbit said Stuart would want him to do the same, but right now forgiveness is the last thing on his mind.
“It’s really hard, but you have to learn to forgive and forget. I may be not be ready to forgive as yet, but maybe in time. It doesn’t make sense to keep the hate. It would just bring negative vibes. I’ll just try to keep the faith.”
Stuart, 49, of Longdenville in Chaguanas, who worked with Allied Security Ltd, was shot and killed outside Pennywise Plaza in a heist.
The police later killed four suspects in a shootout and arrested three people.
Stuart’s co-worker Jeffrey Peters, 51, was also killed. A third colleague, Peola Baptiste, 57, was taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. On Wednesday she had a stroke and was moved to the ICU.
Stuart, the father of two, had worked with Allied Security for the past 14 years.
Nesbit said, “He was a hardworking fella and he really loved all his children…He make sure I get my education, he sent me to school and he just out there to make an honest dollar, and to hear that he’s gone….
“We trying for the best. We trying to be strong for my grandmom, because right now she hasn’t felt it as yet.”
He said he found out what had happened through a video someone sent him via WhatsApp.
“I saw the van, but I didn’t know who it was yet. I try calling him to find out who it was and I didn’t get through with him. I called again and he didn’t answer.
“Normally when I call twice, he would call me back one time, no matter what he’s doing. I went and bathe and saw no missed call. Icalled and again and no answer and I start to get worried.”
He said it was through a mutual friend he found out his father had been inside the van and was killed in the shooting.
“I was in disbelief, so I went straight to the company just to hear it was really him in the van,” he explained.
He told Newsday his father’s death had brought the family closer, as he is expected to meet Stuart’s second child from America face to face for the first time.
