The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) has announced plans to "step up" its marketing output in 2022 with a range of trade incentives, including the return of fam trips.

The new campaign will feature discounts for accommodation and activities in Saint Lucia for those returning to visit

The increase in output will reportedly showcase Saint Lucia as a destination which offers travellers "many experiences" beyond the beach.

SLTA said it will continue to engage with the trade via incentives, training and trade events.

The fam trips will showcase Saint Lucia’s "niches", such as romance, luxury, diving and small properties, as well as general itineraries to showcase the wider product.

The announcement comes after SLTA released its latest figures for the winter sun season, with arrivals seeing a "continued rise" with a 25% increase on 2020 year to date.
