Preliminary visitor arrival figures for Saint Lucia Carnival 2024 point to the numbers trending above 18,000. That is according to the Public Relations Manager at the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority, Geraine George.
The announcement came Wednesday morning during a carnival media briefing and the announcement of Carnival winners.
However, Tourism Minister Dr. Ernest Hilaire in speaking with St. Lucia Times earlier stated that while these are exciting times for the growth and development of the carnival product, there is need for a balance between the growth in terms of visitors and ensuring the island maintains its cultural and creative authenticity.
