The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) has honored the best-selling Saint Lucia travel advisors in the world, following the hosting of the 2022 Global Piton Awards for the top-producing Saint Lucia Expert Travel Advisors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Caribbean.
From VIP arrival services to custom experiences including the Luxe Lucian Lime, the Gros-Islet Street Party, and a cocktail reception at the Prime Minister’s official residence, the Advisors were celebrated with an immersive weekend from November 10 through 14.
The weekend culminated with an award ceremony at Sandals Grande St. Lucian, where the top 35 winners were honored for their contributions to Saint Lucia’s tourism in a regenerative period. The 2022 Global Piton Awards were bestowed upon travel advisors who booked the most room nights from July 1, 2019, through December 31, 2021, through the Saint Lucia Expert (SLEx) Program created in partnership with Recommend magazine.
15 winners are from the United States, 5 from Canada, and 10 from the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Caribbean market joined the global mix honoring 5 Travel Professionals for the first time. They all received the exclusive “Mark insignia” of Saint Lucia along with a locally handcrafted trophy.
“At a time when the world looked to tourism as the main economic driver, our Travel Advisors and carriers placed special confidence in Saint Lucia. A major part of our success and global prominence is attributed to their continued selling of our island’s offerings. They undoubtedly remain the pulse of our industry and we are delighted to express our appreciation.” Remarked Lorine Charles St. Jules, Chief Executive Officer of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority.
