“The SKY Programme is our way of saying thank you to the travel professionals who believe in St. Kitts and work tirelessly to share it. We know that when a travel agent experiences this island firsthand through its warmth, its beauty, and its character, they become its most powerful advocates. This programme is designed to make that possible, and to ensure that the agents who sell St. Kitts are genuinely rewarded for doing so. We are incredibly excited to welcome our trade partners into this experience and look forward to growing these partnerships throughout 2026 and beyond.”
