ST. LUCIA — Fresh off the heels of the announcement naming St. Lucia as the World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination 2019, the Caribbean Island has done it yet again, this time capturing the title of Caribbean’s Leading Honeymoon Destination 2020, at the 27th Annual World Travel Awards (WTA) that took place on January 20, 2020 in Nassau, Bahamas.

According to a release issued by the St. Lucia Tourism Authority, the island has won this award a record 11 times, with the most recent honor coming in 2019. World Travel Awards is the pre-eminent leader in the travel and tourism industry recognizing and upholding excellence across all sectors.

Upon receiving the award, Tourism Minister Dominic Fedee noted, “We are encouraged by this award and it demonstrates Saint Lucia’s commitment to excellence and our unmatched romance product offerings.
