 The government of St. Lucia continues efforts to market St. Lucia as a leading destination choice. Minister for Tourism, Investments, Creative Industries, Culture and Information Honourable Dr. Ernest Hiller, in an interview with Breaking Travel News at Expo Dubai 2020 highlighted the government's intention to fortify the tourism sector to make it inclusive and sustainable. I think our vision first and foremost is to ensure that we have a tourism industry that is sustainable, that can withstand the various shocks, whether natural disasters, whether it is economic challenges, but we have a tourism industry that is robust that can recover quickly from wherever there are any shocks. But also important for us is to ensure that the industry offers many more opportunities to as many people as possible. We do not think that the tourism industry should be seen as restricted to a few, both in terms of participation, ownership and enjoying the benefits of it. We want to introduce a tourism industry that offers authentic experiences to our visitors and for that to be successful it has to come from the people itself. A key programme for inclusivity in St. Lucia's tourism sector is the Village Tourism programme, which will also offer visitors an authentic St. Lucia experience. We are very aggressive now in ensuring that some of the projects get off the ground and I mentioned earlier our Village Tourism programme, which we are really seeking to introduce as quickly as possible. We want in the post-COVID for St. Lucia to be a better destination with a better product and surely we see a lot of investments coming over the next few months in more hotel plans, we see in more product development and we plan to ensure that when COVID finally allows people to open up as much as possible that St. Lucia will be so well placed to offer a better product. Minister for Tourism, Investments, Creative Industries, Culture and Information, Honourable Dr. Ernest Hilaire.
