Charlestwon, Nevis (March 28, 2007)
Chief Executive Officer at the Nevis Tourism Authority (NTA) Ms. Helen Kidd, the island’s premier tourism marketing tool, disclosed Monday that the island continued to receive added exposure from a number of articles which have appeared in major North American travel magazines.
Ms. Kidd made the announcement in an interview with the Department of Information on Monday March 26, 2007. She indicated that Nevis was featured in at least three magazines since a number of journalists continued to visit the island.
For the year so far, she explained that the first group of photographers and writers visited Nevis in January and they represented the Islands Magazine.
“That feature will not come out till July and August. However, immediately after that, we had a young man from the New York Post who visited us, his name was Chris Bunting and he went all over the island meeting with people and talking about, unusual for us, budget travel. As a result, we have received six columns in the New York Post about three weeks ago, excellent exposure for the destination. I am delighted to say, that also, a Florida publication by the name of Vive had been down here. One of the writers came down here which resulted in a piece that came out in the January issue of Vive, wonderful exposure of three pages for Nevis.
