The St. Kitts Tourism Authority announced that its cruise arrivals will increase by over 70 percent in 2008. This increase is largely due to the addition of the Carnival Destiny to the island's cruise ship roster, which will be the first cruise ship to call at St. Kitts on a weekly year-round basis. The Carnival Destiny will bring 130,000 passengers next year to St. Kitts, beginning with its first call on Jan. 10, 2008. The ship will spend a full day in port, allowing passengers the maximum amount of time to explore St. Kitts. "We are approaching the 400,000 annual passenger milestone in the growth of St. Kitts' cruise tourism industry," said Ricky Skerritt, Minister of State in the Ministry of Tourism, Sports and Culture. "However, increasing the number of passenger arrivals is not our biggest concern. We are more concerned about seasonality, sustainability and the quality of visitor experience and visitor expenditure."
Located in the northern Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, St. Kitts' tourism attractions include hiking through the tropical rainforest, riding the scenic railway that connects the island's sugar plantations, touring Brimstone Hill Fortress, the only man-made UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Eastern Caribbean, wreck diving and the more traditional vacation pastimes such as water sports, golf, shopping, tennis, gourmet dining, shopping downtown, gaming at St. Kitts' exclusive casino or simply relaxing on one of the island's sandy beaches.
