BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS — The St. Kitts Tourism Authority (SKTA) has launched its most comprehensive travel trade program to date, designed to reward travel professionals while helping them build their knowledge of the destination.
Running from June 1 to Dec. 15, 2026, the 2026 SKY Program is open to travel advisors in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. Participants will have access to preferred rates at 10 participating properties across St. Kitts, along with a range of on-island benefits and educational opportunities.
Additional benefits include complimentary site inspections at participating hotels, as well as complimentary island tours and excursions for qualifying agents. Participants will also receive a St. Kitts Value Card upon arrival, providing access to discounts on tours, dining and other island experiences.
“The SKY Program is our way of saying thank you to the travel professionals who believe in St. Kitts and work tirelessly to share it. We know that when a travel agent experiences this island firsthand through its warmth, its beauty, its character, they become its most powerful advocates,” said Danielle Weekes, Business Development Manager, St. Kitts Tourism Authority.
“This programme is designed to make that possible, and to ensure that the agents who sell St. Kitts are genuinely rewarded for doing so. We are incredibly excited to welcome our trade partners into this experience and look forward to growing these partnerships throughout 2026 and beyond.”
The program’s 10 participating properties represent a variety of accommodation styles, locations and price points, giving advisors the opportunity to experience products suited to different client segments. They include: St. Kitts Marriott Resort; Park Hyatt St. Kitts; Sunset Reef; Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort; Koi Resort Saint Kitts; Bird Rock Beach Hotel; Sugar Bay Club; Timothy Beach Resort; Seaview Gardens; and Royal St. Kitts Hotel.
