St Lucia named third best Caribbean holiday spot

St Lucia has been listed as one of the top three holiday destinations in the Caribbean by US News & World Report.

The publication recently released its World’s Best Places to Visit list, ranking St Lucia just behind the British Virgin Islands and Guadeloupe.

According to article, St Lucia is “a lush, unspoiled island” with “a growing fan base” that spans honeymooners, thrill seekers and music lovers.

It highlights the fact that St Lucia does not limit itself to offering just one type of vacation, believing instead that visitors can get whatever kind of holiday experience they want when they come to the island.

The list is compiled using a methodology that brings together travellers’ opinions along with the input of travel editors and industry experts.

Each destination is judged according to a set of 10 criteria, including adventure, nightlife, food, culture, romance and sights.

Promotional campaign underway

Over 300 countries were analysed in these and other categories to come up with the rankings.

St Lucia continues to be a favourite among tourists due to its array of premier hotels, resorts, villas and other boutique accommodation, according to St Lucia Tourist Board.

The country’s tours and attractions, such as the iconic twin peaks, the Pitons, and the Sulphur Springs mud baths entice families, couples and sole travellers looking for adventure, they added.

At the moment the nation is running the Saint Lucia Rocks This Summer promotional campaign, which offers deals of up to 50% off room rates and great discounts on tours and attractions.

“Visitors can revel in Saint Lucia’s unique blend of exotic beauty and exciting array of fun-filled activities via sizzling packages available through this summer campaign,” said the tourism authority.
