The St. Kitts Tourism Authority has launched a travel agent program, St. Kitts Yourway, designed to familiarize advisors with the island and its hotels and resorts.

The initiative, good through Dec. 15, gives exclusive benefits and special rates to travel advisors. It offers a $200 agent incentive for confirmed bookings made through American Airlines, JetBlue, Delta Airlines and British Airways.

A number of properties are offering special rates or discounts for advisors through St. Kitts Yourway. They include:

• The Park Hyatt St. Kitts (70% off rack rate).
• Sugar Bay Club (40% off rack rate, with a complimentary upgrade based on availability).
• KOI Resort St. Kitts (25% off base rate with code L-TR).
• Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort (rate of $245 per night, including breakfast and upgrades, based on availability).
• Timothy Beach Resort (starting at $72.88 per night).
• Royal St. Kitts Hotel (starting at $129 per night).
• St. Kitts Marriott Resort ($159 per night).
• Ramada by Wyndham St. Kitts Resort (25% off international rate).
• Statia’s Golden Rock Resort ($210 per night).

All rates are subject to change, and black-out dates may apply.

The program also offers site inspections and island tours (both based on availability) as well as a value card that offers discounts on gift shops, restaurants and more.

“We aim to provide agents with the tools and experiences needed to effectively promote St. Kitts by offering these exclusive rates and benefits,” said St. Kitts and Nevis tourism minister Marsha T. Henderson.

Advisors must log their bookings at St. Kitts’ travel professsionals site using booking code SKY 24.
