| “As we enter this new year, challenges abound both within and outside the Community. But I am confident that with our collective ingenuity, the dynamism and promise of our integration, and our enduring Caribbean resilience our Caribbean civilization will prevail.” – John Briceño, Prime Minister of Belize, and Chairman, Caribbean Community (CARICOM) “Well-balanced precautionary and preventive actions have successfully steered our economies towards recovery and must continue to do so.” –Nicola Madden-Greig, President, Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association “If the average cruise ship were a U.S. state, it would be the safest in the country – by far.” – Zane Kerby, President & CEO, American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) “The reputation of the U.S. Virgin Islands, better known for their busy cruise port than pristine waters or luxury offerings, is on an upswing. American travelers can book passport-free direct flights from more than a dozen mainland cities, with no need for Covid-19 tests on the way home—invaluable conveniences these days.” – “Where to Go in 2022”/ Bloomberg Pursuits (Bloomberg Businessweek) “St. Kitts is an emerging destination with tremendous potential to excite travelers from around the world. I am looking forward to developing and implementing creative strategies that will increase St. Kitts’ visibility in our key source markets, put St. Kitts in the consideration set for travelers and ultimately drive bookings.” – Ellison ‘Tommy’ Thompson, incoming CEO, St. Kitts Tourism Authority (travelweek) “If every individual aims to satisfy our self-actualization needs, that is to be the best that we can be … then the collective impact of all individuals will redound to the benefit of society.” – Dr. Basil Springer, Change-Engine Consultant/ Board Director, Marketplace Excellence What I do, what I make, what I made — all of that — is that going to help me on the last day of my life? It’s about, who have you lifted up? Who have we made better?” – Denzel Washington Jr., American actor, director, and producer (The New York Times) |
