Prime Minster Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas says Wednesday’s meeting with the St. Kitts and Nevis Chamber of Industry and Commerce as “frank and open and an exchange of ideas.”

“The Chamber has a right to be concerned with regard to security matters and wanted to be updated on a number of initiatives that the government had outlined and that is being pursued over the short and medium term,” Prime Minister Douglas told A.U. Browne of Kyss FM in an exclusive interview shortly after he visited St. Paul’s resident, Miss Mary Bradshaw who turned 107 years.

Dr. Douglas said the government’s initiative to hire a National Security Advisor was discussed.

“I gave them an update on where we are on that. We are presently speaking with someone who is familiar with the environment here in St. Kitts and Nevis, but at the moment has a contract overseas, and we are trying to see how we can work around the existing contract. With regard to the team of advisors, who would be assisting us, first in understanding gangs and the dismantling of gangs and also in ensuring that there are alternatives things that our young people can do who maybe engaged in gangs or gang formation. We will continue to pursue that,” said Prime Minister Douglas, who is also Minister of National Security.

Tourism officials on Nevis launched a new marketing tool to lure visitors to the island. The improved Nevis Tourism Destination Brochure “Nevis Naturally”, was launched recently, with the addition of a five minute video presentation of the destination by the Nevis Tourism Authority (NTA) at its conference room.

The brochure with a new concept, packaging and paper choice will be distributed at the World Travel Market to travel and tour operators around the world and circulated locally.

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism Mr. Tyrone O’Flaherty described the brochure as another important tool in the valuable work of the NTA and regarded the new concept as timely. The Authority is charged with the promotion of Nevis.

“In this day and age when so many people are using the internet to make their travel arrangements it is a challenge, really, for the traditional forms of marketing to stay in touch,” he said.

Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) Mr. Alec Sanguinetti, praised Nevis‘ decision to target high end tourism markets and said it was the right thing to do. He commended Premier and Minister of Tourism Hon. Joseph Parry for the move at his Bath Plain office, when a delegation from the Association visited Nevis on September 29, 2008.

“You are absolutely right in targeting the high end market for your visitor situation because that market, Sir, is the least susceptible to the changes in the market place particularly when we have economic challenges,” he said.

While Mr. Parry thanked the delegation for its visit to Nevis, he described their discussions as “very interesting”. The topics ranged from geothermal, training assistance, the airline situation and how they could work together to market tourism in St. Kitts and Nevis and the Caribbean.

The Premier said he was certain that in spite of the difficulties faced by the industry at this time, the islands of the Caribbean would prevail as they had done in the past and the tourism industry would continue to grow from strength to strength.
