That was followed by 24,500 travelers from the United Kingdom, about 30.3 percent of all stayover arrivals in the aquarter. 

“The numbers are really encouraging and a testament to the people who work tirelessly in the tourism industry in Saint Lucia,” said Saint Lucia Tourism Minister Dr Ernest Hilaire. “Our aim is to ensure that the growth trajectory is sustainable and benefits our people through employment and income generation as well as providing the best experience for our visitors .”

The island recently eased its entry protocols for travelers, waiving testing for fully vaccinated visitors.
