“Canada is Saint Lucia’s 4th largest travel market. These new non-stop flights from Toronto and Montreal significantly contributes to our tourism growth and the marketing efforts of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority,” said Saint Lucia Tourism Authority Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Tiffany Howard. “We continue to record advancement in stay over arrivals from Canada: the new direct service will provide more opportunities for Canadians to explore our beautiful island.”
