Basseterre, St. Kitts, (CUOPM) – The inaugural call of the 3,700-passenger Carnival Conquest is a testament to the quality of St. Kitts as a cruise ship destination and its expanding infrastructure.

So says Acting Chief Executive Officer of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority, Ms. Carolyn James.

Speaking an a plaque exchange ceremony to mark the inaugural call by the Carnival Conquest, Miss James said St. Kitts can provide an authentic Caribbean experience that clearly appeals to cruise passengers.

She pointed out that St. Kitts’ survival as a cruise destination depends on the ability of tourism industry to deliver value-added services to guests on a sustainable basis.

“Our guests need to feel that we want them here,” James said.

“Visitors need to feel welcomed, and the needs of each guest must be respected individually if they are to give our destination a good report.  And I hasten to add that our guests do not expect to be harassed or want to experience angry situations and personal abuse,” said the CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority.
