NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (February 14, 2022) – The Nevis Tourism Authority (NTA)https://nevisisland.com/ says its 2022 promotional efforts in the United States kicked off the year in a big way, as the island was prominently featured in four leading news outlets – Forbes, Hombre, Travel Pulse, and Wine & Whiskey Globe – in their February publications.
The outlets were specifically selected as media relations targets by the NTA along with their US-based public relations agency, CIIC PR, due to the sizeable audiences they reach and the diverse travel interests they serve.
Reacting to the news, Mr. Devon Liburd the authority’s interim Chief Executive Officer expressed his satisfaction.
“We are delighted whenever Nevis gets the attention of the US press. We’re especially proud of this round of coverage because of its capacity to reach those potential travel audiences most important to us,” he said.
In Forbes, with a readership of 48million high net-worth consumers, contributor Wendy Altschuler reports on “3 Sunny Spring Break Destinations Families Will Love” and highlights St. Kitts and Nevis as “Best for Adventurers,” noting the islands’ lush landscapes are ripe for exploration as a complement to days spent on our beautiful beaches.
