Vincentian diaspora in UK, North America targetted in tourism promotion

The SVG Hotel and Tourism Association (SVGHTA), in collaboration with the SVG Tourism Authority (SVGTA), recently launched its first tourism promotion specifically targetting the Vincentian diaspora in North America and the UK.

Some 17 association members have come together, offering discounts that range from 15 per cent to 47 per cent.{{more}} This promotion seeks to increase occupancy levels in the soft periods, while encouraging Vincentians living abroad to come home and experience the local tourism product which has been sold for so long to non-Vincentians.

The Diaspora Promotion was launched during Toronto’s Vincy Picnic on July 16. Next, it would be New York’s turn during the Vincy Day USA Family Day, scheduled for August 20. The Diaspora Promotion will also be offered in Florida, and the UK, through the Tourism Authority’s London office.
