The St. Kitts Tourism Authority introduced the St. Kitts Yourway (SKY) Travel Agent Program, which offers advisors a slate of discounts and perks to enable them to explore the destination first-hand.
“We are delighted to introduce the SKY Travel Agent Program, which underscores our commitment to fostering strong relationships with travel agents. We aim to provide agents with the tools and experiences needed to effectively promote St. Kitts by offering these exclusive rates and benefits,” said Minister of Tourism Marsha T. Henderson.
“We believe that once agents experience the beauty and culture of our destination, they will be even more inspired to share it with their clients," Henderson continued. "This program is not just about providing discounts; it’s about creating memorable experiences that will resonate with travel agents and their clients for years to come.”
For the North American market, advisors booking United Airlines will receive $250 as an incentive “upon completion and verification of travel,” the tourism authority said, and those booking American Airlines, JetBlue, Delta Air Lines, or British Airways will receive $200 upon completion and verification of travel.

Advisors will also be privy to site inspections and island tours, and a value card for savings at gift shops and restaurants.

Hotels are often agents of change in a neighborhood. That’s certainly true in New York, where buttoned-up Wall Street and the frenetic NoMad district, north of Madison Square Park, are just two of the beneficiaries of the city’s latest hotel boom. More than 40 properties have opened across the five boroughs since 2022, during apost-Covid rebirth that’sbrought freshenergy to long-overlooked pockets of Manhattan as well as to its most well-trodden quarters. Among these new arrivals are the Hotel Chelsea, a long-awaited revival of the venerable art-crowd hangout, and Nine Orchard, an elegant makeover of a 1912 bank building on the Lower East Side.
