“During my tenure at the St. Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association (SLHTA), I hope to foster stronger linkages between tourism and the rest of economy with special focus on the development of agro-tourism.

We have seen the SLHTA grow and develop under the leadership of outgoing President (Karolin) Troubetzkoy and I hope to build on the programs already ongoing while continuing to enhance, develop and innovate the way the SLHTA and by extension how St. Lucia’s tourism sector does business and interacts with the broader economy and society at large.” – Sanovnik Destang, President, St. Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association / Executive Director, Bay Gardens Resorts
