ARC JANUARY PARTICIPANTS REWARDED
"We embraced the opportunity to collaborate with World Cruising Club, Events Saint Lucia, and all other partners who continue to support the renowned ARC and have lent support to this inaugural ARC January.
On behalf of the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority, I must add that we are extremely proud to be associated with such a spectacular event. You braved out of Las Palmas on January 9th on a voyage of a lifetime with a 27,000 nautical mile trade-wind circumnavigation, enjoying the shore-side activities as a group, and what better place to be after time on the water, than on the island that inspires.
The fellowship, and the economic impact of ARC and now ARC January cannot go unnoticed, so to the Managing Director of World Cruising Club, Andrew Bishop, and your team, your continued support for the destination is highly celebrated and we thank you for collaborating with us year after year.
I wish to congratulate all finalists and thank you for choosing to be here with us in Saint Lucia. We celebrate the inaugural ARC January and look forward to the future."
Words of SLTA's Chairman - Thaddeus M. Antoine on Friday, February 4th at the prize-giving ceremony held at IGY Rodney Bay Marina as he congratulated participants in the ARC Janaury fleet and sincerely thanked the organizers at the forefront.

EXPO Dubai 2020 Opportunity
Dear Partners,
As you will all be aware, Saint Lucia has been exhibiting at Expo Dubai since last October, and it has been an excellent opportunity to showcase Saint Lucia to the world. The Expo has attracted an international audience of 11.6 million as of 31st January 2022, as well as the local audience in Dubai. As part of Saint Lucia’s exhibiting at this world-class event, we have planned several activities with our destination partners, Export Saint Lucia, Invest Saint Lucia and Citizen by Investment Saint Lucia, as part of our National Day Activities. These activities will take place on the 21st and 22nd February 2022 (see the attached Calendar of Activities for details), and as such, the Authority is extending an invitation to you to be part of these activities.
On Monday 21st February, we will host a Tourism Forum that will allow you to network with trade contacts, media and potential investors to the destination, followed by a cocktail reception. There will be other networking opportunities on the following day, and you can use the time also to explore the Expo. Due to space restrictions, we can host six partners as part of our delegation, and these places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
Your participation will afford you the following:
- Allocation of one representative to attend and exhibit at the main forum – a small table will be provided to display brochures.
- Networking with up to approximately 60 trade contacts.
- Inclusion in a trade mailing to approximately 1000 trade contacts (SLTA is working with DNATA to secure trade attendance and destination exposure).
