The Ministry of Tourism is hosting several exciting activities to celebrate Tourism Awareness Month.
Tourism Month is an opportunity to raise the level of tourism awareness and education among our students, stakeholders and the general population.
On Thursday November 16 and Friday November 17, the Ministry staged a Craft and Souvenir Exhibition at the Cruise Ship Terminal in Kingstown.
This was held as Cruise Lines Azura and Britannia were anchored in Port Kingstown on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
Tourism Education Officer, Jewelene Charles- Scott said the exhibition which targeted the tourist was held to give the Artisans an opportunity to sell and showcase the products and services that are offered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The Tourism Education Officer noted that the artisans received training prior to the exhibition to empower them with the knowledge necessary to not only sell their products but to sell destination St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
According to Charles-Scott, some seventeen exhibitors showcased their products over the two days.
The Tourism Month activities will continue tomorrow November 21 with a Know Your Country Media Tour, a Tourism Walk on November 29 and the Tourism Awards on December 2.
The Tourism Month slogan is ‘Tourism is Everyone’s Business: Live it, Love it, Embrace it’.
