Small hotels in the Caribbean need to better prepare themselves to serve individual niche markets with a more personalized experience, says St. Kitts and Nevis‘ Minister of State for Tourism, Sen. the Hon. Ricky Skerritt.

Minister Skerritt made the remark ahead of the Caribbean Hotels Retreat to be held at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort & Royal Beach Casino from Oct. 1-3, 2008.

“With the majority of hotel properties in St Kitts & Nevis falling within the small hotel category, it will be beneficial to our hoteliers that we host the small hotels conference this coming October. St. Kitts & Nevis offers a range of product from high-end Plantation Inns to more mid-market hotels and dive resorts in our small hotels product line,” said Sen. Skerritt.

He said that as a former Board member of a small hotel, “I appreciate the peculiar challenges that small hotels face in an increasingly competitive market, but I also believe that our small hotels need to better prepare and position themselves to serve individual niche markets with a more personalized experience.”

“Serving the needs of the small and independent hoteliers” is the theme for the small hoteliers to be held by the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA), in conjunction with the St. Kitts & Nevis Hotel & Tourism Association.

Nevis, West Indies (PRWEB)
June 6, 2008

Reaching Nisbet Plantation Beach Club, the Caribbean’s #1 Luxury Hotel according to TripAdvisor’s 2008 Travelers’ Choice Awards, is easier than ever with free airport transfers available in July. Combined with the Sultry Summer Savings, this offer is a rare opportunity.

For all Nisbet Plantation guests arriving in July and staying six or more nights, the hotel will pre-arrange free airport transfers. Guests will receive complimentary round-trip transportation for two (per room) from either the Nevis airport (NEV) or St. Kitts airport (SKB)*.

 To celebrate summer Nisbet makes it easier than ever to get to and offers great summer rates  
As always, a Nisbet greeter will meet guests at the airport (hence the reason for advance arrangements) and personally assist them in getting to Nisbet Plantation. From the Nevis airport, Nisbet is a short 10-minute taxi ride. From St. Kitts airport (with recent new non-stops from New York and Atlanta), the primary transport is a refreshing water taxi ride. Guests are whisked by taxi from the airport to the water taxi and picked up by a taxi in Nevis. All in all, it’s about 45 minutes and a $275 value.

“To celebrate summer Nisbet makes it easier than ever to get to and offers great summer rates,” says Nisbet General Manager Glen Hurd. “Many of our guests insist that reaching Nisbet by water is the most scenic and romantic way to arrive.” Nisbet is extending this offer to any guest flying into St. Kitts or Nevis — guests must book at least six nights and arrive in July to receive two round-trip transfers.

*For nighttime transports after 6 p.m., there is a $50 charge per person.

In addition to the free transfers, guests can take advantage of the Sultry Summer Savings special and save up to 20% off the lowest rates of the year depending on the length of stay:
