Thursday 30 June 2011 – July 1, marks the official launch of the 2011 edition of Staycation as tourism officials seek to lure more Saint Lucians into enjoying the legendary warmth and hospitality of Saint Lucia`s Tourism product.
Until September 30, 2011, Saint Lucians can benefit from a wide variety of discounted prices on hotel accommodation and excursions through the Staycation promotion.
Public Relations Manager at the Saint Lucia Tourist Board John Emmanuel says the annual summer promotion continues to grow in popularity and has almost doubled in participation this year.
“Staycation really allows the average Saint Lucian to be a part of the mix because over and over we boast about the legendary hospitality on Saint Lucian and the fine properties which have been winning many awards. We also boast about the culinary delights—all of these things are available to Saint Lucians as part of Staycation.”
Emmanuel says the Saint Lucia Tourist Board is working assiduously with the many hotels, restaurants, and tour operator partners, in crafting the various tailor-made packages that offer summer vacation deals exclusively to Saint Lucians.
He says hotels and restaurants participating in Staycation 2011 include both small and large properties, located throughout the island, from Cap Estate in the north, to Vieux-Fort in the south.
“Some of the specials include hotel stays starting from US$30 per night per room and discounts on popular tours and attractions. There are also some incredible all-inclusive deals that form part of the promotion. For us it really is putting into practice our pronouncements. Saint Lucians are always hearing about the legendary hospitality that exists in the country—Staycation really allows them to enjoy the tourism product first hand.”
Staycation is the ultimate tourism promotion targeted at locals. |
