November 17, 1997 - Representatives from the St. Lucia Tourist Board and other stakeholders in the Tourism Industry recently concluded a two day workshop at the Rex St. Lucian Hotel.

The workshop which was aimed at addressing the future plans for a fully developed Tourism Industry was preceded by a six month Hospitality Study conducted by the firm of Arthur Anderson Consulting.

Executive Vice President of the St. Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association, Hilary Modeste, says that just about everybody regardless of economic status can contribute in one way or another to the Tourism Industry.

The Hospitality Strategic Plan was funded by the Government of St. Lucia and the Organization of American States. It is hoped that the five year strategic plan will be developed by mid January 1998.
